During the last couple of months, I’ve been ordering meals and desserts by way of Zomato fairly recklessly. Having satisfied myself to allocate part of my finances 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 might {photograph} it as if I had been photographing it for a consumer.

The white background has been a staple in product images for a very long time. Relying on how the photographer lights it, fascinating outcomes might be seen. I needed to keep up consistency of aesthetic all through the sequence. After I photographed the primary pineapple pastry, I knew I needed 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 nicely. The appear and feel of the pictures is identical, however the shadows due to the packaging, add a little bit little bit of differentiation.

The white background is Strathmore Paper, which Mohawk despatched to me MANY years in the past. I take advantage of them sparingly and punctiliously and through this sequence, I went by two sheets of paper and was upset about it. I assume, even after so a few years, my shortage mentality, in the case of stationery, is alive and nicely. I don’t thoughts it – I respect the worth of straightforward of issues.

Whereas I used to be in a position to justify the expense of money and time for just a few weeks, finally, I made a decision to pause the sequence for now. I began photographing this sequence in the direction of the top of the winter season. As we progressed in the direction of the summer season season, I spotted I used to be consuming extra cool salads and ice lollies than heavier desserts. This presents a brand new problem – easy methods 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!
