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 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 wished to take care of 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 photographs as effectively. The feel and appear of the pictures is identical, 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 exploit them sparingly and thoroughly and through this sequence, I went by means of two sheets of paper and was upset about it. I suppose, even after so a few years, my shortage mentality, relating to stationery, is alive and effectively. 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, ultimately, I made a decision to pause the sequence for now. I began photographing this sequence in direction of the tip of the winter season. As we progressed in 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 – find out how to {photograph} quick-melting ice and nonetheless making it look clear just like the above photographs? Right here’s hoping that I get to it sooner or later!
