We shoot a restaurant clients actual, ticketed food going out to one of their guests. Out process momentarily diverts the plate for approximately 20 seconds.
In that time we will (with the chef's advanced plating assistance), both lightly style, and light in a complementary way at the shooting table.
Just three shots, it's still hot, and then whisked away.
This was shot with 100mm 2.8 macro on a Pentax K3, strobe key light and sync @ 180th via soft box and wireless triggers. Silver reflector mod at 150 degrees to the key. Hero (salmon) in the front row seat, other plated elements tightened to make the frame.
Client brand (logo) will be added, our wm will be more subtly included for web uses and removed for reflective print uses.
The produced and branded images are a solid representation of what a future restaurant guest may expect to enjoy at the restaurant when they dine.
Think of our process as "speed dating", for instead, a brief food shooting relationship.
