Another post! This picture was very fun to do, and at the end of the shoot, eat.
Briefing: I was looking for a restaurant to produce a photo for an announcement of year end and would be used for magazine advertisement and banners. The idea would basically produce a dish that had a Christmas atmosphere, would be visually attractive and not necessarily a dish sophisticated and expensive. The choice of Chester was the one that proved the most accurate.
Production: I must confess that I am not very adept at photographing food, given the difficulties of enforcement. But in this case, as the restaurant owner was willing to produce it by following a few guidelines of the photographer, we moved forward. The photograph of food has many secrets, but one is that the best pictures are produced with the dishes coming out of the stove, with its brightness and a minus retouch! Food like food!
Execution: I chose to use a movie set with lights, because it would have a better control on the lighting! General illumination was made with a Chinese lantern, 2000 K,
Fresnel against the light and sides with the Mandrake distribution. How were pictures for magazines, I chose a Nikon D70s (8mpx, but a fabulous color) and loved and idolized Nikkor 85 1.8 mechanics. Made the test light, and the product well made and beautifully decorated in less than 30 minutes the picture was produced.
Additional Comment: As I am increasingly inclined to take photos in the traditional manner, dealing with the digital equipment only as a substitute for film, with care in production, running light and click on the whim, the final picture was absolutely free Photoshop, only items Color in Lightroom.
