I would like a critique on my ice cream sundae that I shot this past Friday. I was given the assignment on Thursday afternoon and shot first thing the following Friday. This was shot with a Nikon D5200 with the kit 18-55mm lens. I shot tethered to a macbook and used PhaseOne CaptureOne to process the image and export out the hi-res tiff. This was shot on a white plexiglass backdrop with two impact digital monolights. The main light was was camera left and to the side of the bowl with a 24"x24" soft box and with a white card to give some fill light to the right side. The second monolight was position camera left as well but it was also positioned behind the food (mainly using as hairlight). Food was style by a chef, that is very good at foodstyling but probably has a few more shoots today before I would call him a seasoned professional. Once the image was exported out from CaptureOne I then took it into PS for clean up any does and imprefections, cutting out the background, adding shadows & reflections back in and some more color grading. The surface was also added in PS. Let me know what you like, don't like and what I could improve upon.
Looks almost perfect for a menu item photo just the plate seems bent a bit on the bottom right don't you agree?
