Food photography for Kings

Food Photography again… Actually the pancake shot was lit like I normally light pizza. It was sort of an interesting discovery on my part. Basically, I lit the shadow side with mirrors and three different areas, alternating: light, dark, light, dark. It’s subtle, but affective.



The pulled pork sandwich shot worked out really well, I thought. What I like most is the texture across the sides of the bread, especially the shadow side.



I was a little disappointed with this chicken shot. Actually, it’s the cauliflower I think looks a little texture-less. But it was…. Ya just can’t put texture where it isn’t… I know, I’ve tired. The client wouldn’t let us switch it out with fresh, but I understand his concern. There is such thing as “truth in advertising”. You do the best you can with what you have…



I like this chicken shot. The only thing that bugs me is the fact that I think we lifted the rear end of the breast a bit too far. It looks a little unnatural to me.



I like this fish shot too. Nice texture in the rice and nice shape on the veggies.



All in all, not a bad day’s shoot. What do you guys think?
