Thje shows are exciting, but a ton of work to plan, and do correctly. More images coming soon, so stay tuned. Also if you’re in the the are this weekend heres the info for my next show. Drop by and see me if your a photographer, or a client. Or anyone for that matter lol

Food Photography (a lot of work)

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Recently I have taken up some food photography. My uncle is a part owner of Sea Galley in Yakima (Union Gap) WA. Though I shoot mainly weddings, and portraits, but I do have interest in food and commercial shooting, so when he needed his menu redone I jumped on it. I love technology, so on location at the restaurant I set up the lighting, and the laptop. Then we shot, and shot, and shot…

I never understood before now how much effort it is to get good food shots. I had my MBP laptop set up so that as soon as I took the shot it came up on the screen. This was a priceless feature, because we knew when we had it spot on.

I’m not complaining. I’m liking it, and intend to do more, and even start offering it more readily in my services. I like a challenge, weather a wedding, nature, or a plate of food.

I’ll post a few below, so see what you think. By the way I’m going there again this weekend to shoot drinks, and desserts… If your ever in Yakima, you must go to Sea Galley. The best food in town!

Here’s the shrimp cocktail. Yes it’s good, and I did get to eat it when I was done.

The Shrimp Skewers are UNREAL GOOD! But they were among the hardest to shoot

I’m not a huge salad guy, but let me tell you. This is one good salad (there’s also one topped off with fresh Dungeness crab) (Mouth watering yet???)
