During the last couple of months, I’ve been ordering meals and desserts by way of Zomato fairly recklessly. Having satisfied myself to allocate part of my finances to a “mood-swing” kitty, I wanted extra to make it “worthwhile”. Therefore, I made a decision that earlier than I took a chunk, I might {photograph} it as if I have been photographing it for a consumer.
The white background has been a staple in product pictures for a very long time. Relying on how the photographer lights it, fascinating outcomes will be seen. I needed to keep up consistency of aesthetic all through the collection. After I photographed the primary pineapple pastry, I knew I needed to maintain the “look”.
I took {a photograph} of the setup, famous the EXIF values and gleefully ordered dessert after dessert.
Then Lindt Chocolate made an look. And my favorite Sushi and my spectacles made an look and at last, I included the Pixel Watch 2 in the identical collection. I attempted to include the meals packaging within the photos as properly. The appear and feel of the pictures is identical, however the shadows due to the packaging, add just a little little bit of differentiation.
The white background is Strathmore Paper, which Mohawk despatched to me MANY years in the past. I take advantage of them sparingly and thoroughly and through this collection, I went by way of two sheets of paper and was upset about it. I suppose, even after so a few years, my shortage mentality, in terms of stationery, is alive and properly. I don’t thoughts it – I admire the worth of easy of issues.
Whereas I used to be capable of justify the expense of money and time for a couple of weeks, finally, I made a decision to pause the collection for now. I began photographing this collection in the direction of the top of the winter season. As we progressed in the direction of the summer season season, I spotted I used to be consuming extra cool salads and ice lollies than heavier desserts. This presents a brand new problem – find out how to {photograph} quick-melting ice and nonetheless making it look clear just like the above photos? Right here’s hoping that I get to it in some unspecified time in the future!
