If anyone thought shooting a product shot of a pizza is a piece of cake, this behind the scenes movie showes how wrong that is.
This is a fantastic mess of people working on the little pizza, trying to make it look as good as possible.
There is also a hand model talking about the art of holding a pizza slice the right way. This is a nice bts movie that itself alone would be a nice ad for the pizza company (Dominos Pizza). It shows the hard work making a pizzaslice looking good enough for for us to eat.
Last week we shot some “live” pictures for the pub Kuntze in Sankt Gertruds Restaurants.
I got help from Erik, Mimmi and charming Maria who is working at the pub, She had some time over for helping us being a talented model. The pictures should have a snapshot feeling and have the light of a warm summers evening.
The other day I had the oportunity to shoot sweet Cecilie, who wanted to update her stock of portraits for use at presentations, lectures, seminars and press. Smart! I truly believe in the power of some good, updated, personal pictures to use in this ocasions. There are serious bloggers/facebookers/lecturers updating their portrait picture stock twice a year. At least. This way not only the contents of their work is constantly updating but also the graphics. Nice and convincing.
“Coorporate, Cecilie Stranger-Thorsen, independent media consultant based in Malmö, Sweden
She works in all of the Scandinavian countries, focusing on cross-media and media education projects, arranging seminars, writing and lecturing.” She is also a witty facebooker with a lot of humor.
It´s easy to get inspired by David Hobbys STB (Shoot The Bloggers) project wich he just started, but have several interesting thoughts about. In short, the idea is to shoot freelance corporate portrais while you get the opportunity to pull the camera trigger and experiment with ideas of portraits on different personalities. It´s a win-win!
We had fun and altered between full stdiolightning, available light in the studio and mixed speedlight/daylight. All this to get a broad range of pictures useful to Cecilie in several occasions.
Luckily the studio has three large windows at northwest and if the weather is good they provide a nice, soft natural light to use. In worst case there is one or two huge trucks parking outside the windows, delivering beer, wine and food for the restaurants in the block. The only chance to get decent light then is to trigger the Elinchrome studiogear…
I took the chance to explore the HiTec parts of a brand new Trek 7,5 FX WSD. Late evening sunlight and a silver reflector gave the warm tone on the very special red color of the bike. Almost like raspberries.
Once a week Sanna (from Veckans Middag.com) is providing a nice recipe and a cooking tutorial for the online grossery store Hemmalivs. My pleasant task is to shoot it and to taste it now and then.
This time we decided to shoot outdoors since the light seemed to be nice. A small Speedlight as fill, and a silver reflector whas all it took to even out the soft evening light.
The peppers were among other delicious things stuffed with cottage cheese, bacon, Feta cheese, fresh cheese and garlic!
Watching the signs from the summer in the garden. It is summer after all.
Really enjoying the power of growth.
