Things I realized as I assisted on this shoot ... A food shoot can run more smoothly if you have the right people doing the prop styling, food styling and allowing the photographer to be ... the photographer ...
I have had shoots when I am all three and it is too stressful to manage three jobs when all you should be doing is photographing the food. This usually occurs when budgets are small ! So this food shoot was certainly a refreshing change of pace and hope my future food shoots will be like this one!
Mental notes:
- Ideal shooting day - 4-5 plates; 8 is a bit excessive; and well 10 - expect a long day.
- Larger budget - allows for more props, more skilled people working on set.
- Smaller budget - what do you have in your cupboards to make this work;?
For the love of food photography! yippee!
