 Do you remember how I treat device called shooting tent or lightbox? Every time readers were asking about lightbox (light tent, shooting box, etc) I was saying that it is very limited and useless thing in our studio. Continue reading: Shooting glassware on white background: high-key in product photography  Last week I had a great opportunity to work on a very interesting project: a food photoshoot for Jante Glen and his Wing City2City Take-Out Restaurant. Continue reading: Food photographer in Atlanta: chicken wings, photographer, stylist and a sauce:-)  This is a half a year old photo-shoot, but I would like to share the outcome here, the post is following this ONE. I was not able to release the details of the shot due to a restriction from a client, and now they seems to be OK with it :-) Shirley Corriher the one of Continue reading: Food photography with Shirley O. Corriher.  I have this photo, water on an apple splash: I’ve done it 2 years ago, while playing with Canon Speedlight strobes: that time we did not have much assignments and I spend time in studio exploring new techniques, a lot of resulting photos found a place in our stock collection. I was surprised when Cheryl Church (www.cherylchurch.com) Continue reading: History of the photograph and drawing  About 30% of studio work I do is for packaging, and I would like to share what I have learned. Continue reading: Photography for packaging: simple steps on how to have it done right  We always had a kitchen in the studio, but was never actually shooting in it. It was mainly used for food preparation and styling, occasional party cooking, etc. When I worked with Shirley Corriher, for a first time (see the result) , we used a kitchen a lot, most of the cakes, biscuits and other Continue reading: Kitchen for food photographer: small, but shiny and new! This is a video for my recent post, where I shot a glass of beer: Enjoy!  Do you like a beer? I do, a lot :-). Recently we met Jason, co-owner of a new Atlanta brewing company called Back Forty Beer Company. This is how we got our new assignment: Beer and packaging shoot of “Naked Pig” ale: The ale is really good, we have enjoyed it’s rich taste after each Continue reading: New Product Assignment Photoshoot: “Naked Pig” Ale!  Once again we were playing with water and fruits. Small inflated pool, 3 Canon Speedlite Flash units and some handy support hardware makes it possible. Around 1/10.000 second flash duration can freeze any splash, only you need to worry about is a light distribution: reflectors and white backdrops are must to be here. Continue reading: Water splash photography (water splash with berries and apple)  A cake from a Whole Foods Grocery, same technique as we have used HERE, except white background. White because it was for a microstock, as they like products on a white. Start feeling that we’ll need to shoot more like this, as these images age quite popular on iStock and Shutterstock.  Some examples oh high-speed photography we did a while ago. I have used 3 Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash units, synchronization was done by hand:-) Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III camera, manual shooting mode, 1/250 sec, F4.5. Shutter speed does not really matter, as actual flash duration was about 1/3000 sec. Do you like the result? Let Continue reading: Water strawberry splash: stock photography photoset.  We are continue to shoot water.. when we got time for this. Same setup, just trying to be more creative.  Have decided to try micro-stock agencies, like Shutterstock.com and iStock.com. Loaded several photos, mostly water splashes I did a while ago. So far Shutterstock.com is the best, it start producing a revenue from the fist day. Not much, but considering that I have just a few photos there, it looks promising. Continue reading: Water photography setup:-)  This is was one of the most pleasant photo sessions we’ve had. The client, Shirley Corriher, with her crew were very interesting people to works with, they did an amazing job creating this art of food pieces. You won’t believe, but all of these cakes are real (fake foods used a lot in a food Continue reading: Food photography |  I share everything I know here.
