During the last couple of months, I’ve been ordering meals and desserts through Zomato fairly recklessly. Having satisfied myself to allocate part of my price range to a “mood-swing” kitty, I wanted extra to make it “worthwhile”. Therefore, I made a decision that earlier than I took a chew, I’d {photograph} it as if I had been photographing it for a shopper.
The white background has been a staple in product images for a very long time. Relying on how the photographer lights it, attention-grabbing outcomes may be seen. I wished to keep up consistency of aesthetic all through the collection. After I photographed the primary pineapple pastry, I knew I wished 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 feel and appear of the photographs is similar, however the shadows due to the packaging, add slightly 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 punctiliously and through this collection, I went by way of two sheets of paper and was upset about it. I assume, even after so a few years, my shortage mentality, in the case of stationery, is alive and properly. I don’t thoughts it – I admire the worth of straightforward of issues.
Whereas I used to be capable of justify the expense of money and time for a number of weeks, finally, I made a decision to pause the collection for now. I began photographing this collection in direction of the top of the winter season. As we progressed in direction of the summer time season, I spotted I used to be consuming extra cool salads and ice lollies than heavier desserts. This presents a brand new problem – how you can {photograph} quick-melting ice and nonetheless making it look clear just like the above photos? Right here’s hoping that I get to it sooner or later!
