So my daughter made this pan of brownies and of course I ran off with them to my home studio to.......ah.....photograph them! Of course.

I always find bread an interesting subject to shoot because of the warm tones, and this time I added in a unique French butter dish.

This seaweed salad was chosen for the bright translucent color and texture, because of the way it would stand out from the background. Part of an asi

Working on some color dominant food photography, these oranges and orange candy reflect enough color to make the entire frame look orange.

I shot this for a restaurant in Destin Florida called My Pho King Dumplings.

This is what winter looks like along the Florida Panhandle. Not the Emerald Green water its famous for, but beautiful all the same.

While pomegranates are in season I shot a series with them. This shot, on the darker moody side stands out more with the use of the dark negative spa

Behind The Lens

Location

Morrison Springs near Ponce De Leon Florida.

Time

Early morning, about 1 hour after sunrise.

Lighting

We shot in the early morning because trees sheltered the water from direct sun glare and would make a better softer background. I used a single speed light in a soft box as a fill light and had an assistant hold it out on a pole forward and above the model.

Equipment

At the time I was shooting a Sony A700 with a Minolta 200mm lens. Im shooting handheld with a single off camera flash and softbox.

Inspiration

I was looking for someone to shoot at this specific location and the model contacted me for a few portfolio shots. She needed some bikini, so we made the spings our shoot location and shot all of her shots outdoors. The green background with the color of the trees showing in the water is really what drove the choice of the location.

Editing

Yes, I did do a little adjustment to exposure and sharpening and some contrast, but the morning light was so good that it really didn't require much.

In my camera bag

I still shoot Sony, but today I carry a pair of Sony A7 with a set of Youngnuo wireless flashes, a Sony 24-240mm lens and a pair of small light stands with compact umbrellas.

Feedback

We all tend to want to shoot when we have time or its convienent, but it makes a world of difference in your photography to get out and shoot during the golden hours of light.
