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 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 chunk, I’d {photograph} it as if I had been photographing it for a shopper.
The white background has been a staple in product pictures for a very long time. Relying on how the photographer lights it, fascinating outcomes could be seen. I wished to keep up consistency of aesthetic all through the sequence. 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 eventually, I included the Pixel Watch 2 in the identical sequence. I attempted to include the meals packaging within the pictures as properly. The appear and feel of the photographs is similar, however the shadows due to the packaging, add somewhat 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 sequence, I went by two sheets of paper and was upset about it. I assume, even after so a few years, my shortage mentality, in relation to stationery, is alive and properly. I don’t thoughts it – I admire the worth of straightforward of issues.
Whereas I used to be in a position to justify the expense of money and time for just a few weeks, finally, I made a decision to pause the sequence for now. I began photographing this sequence in the direction of the top of the winter season. As we progressed in the direction of the summer season season, I noticed I used to be consuming extra cool salads and ice lollies than heavier desserts. This presents a brand new problem – how one can {photograph} quick-melting ice and nonetheless making it look clear just like the above pictures? Right here’s hoping that I get to it in some unspecified time in the future!
