a day in the studio

I am in the middle of a big food-catalog shoot right now and I thought I'd give you a glimpse into the action.

The catalog showcases food for the holidays so I pulled some props ahead of time that fit that look.

A shot of the set. This particular shot went through many incarnations-- this one being the first. It ended up requiring a lot of tweaking and some piecing together of multiple products to make the perfect one for the photo.

I wanted a warm look to the shots and somehow misplaced my gold reflector but my awesome assistant rigged up this super cool make-shift warm-toned reflector! It cast a lovely golden tone on the subject, just as I had hoped it would.

Shoots like these, which deal with packaged and frozen food, require a LOT of product. Here is a shot of SOME of it.
