Location
I took this in the dining room of my home which serves more as a studio these days than anything else. I made the sleds out of coffee stirers sticks, painted them red and took some wooden figures used for teaching others how to draw, and added that to the composition. I placed the sleds on a piece of balsa and secured them with fishing line, no photoshop was used anywhere in this photo. the figure pulling the sled was also attached with fishing line and the one on the ladder was balanced, that was a challenge.Time
In the afternoon, this was shot indoors.Lighting
I used studio lighting, soft boxes, on either side of the sleds as well as above looking down. Nothing complicated, very simple.Equipment
I shot this with a Sony 850a camera, a 28-200 Tamron lens, tripod, no flash. The cupcakes I orderd from a local bakery in the city I live in, Cabot Cafe and Cake Corner, I also had other cheesecakes I was going to shoot but ate the props instead so they don't show up anywhere other than I now need a wider belt!!! Very Yummy!!!Inspiration
I wanted to create something unique not simply shoot a picture or two of some food for a contest. I normally doodle and sketch ideas in a sketch book and this is one that came from who knows where and I drew it and then created the props! A lot of my ideas come from observing others and their pictures then going from there. I then make notes or add to my sketch book and eventually, though not always, they might become a photo.Editing
Not much, just a touch of added saturation and brightness but very little.In my camera bag
Sony a850 DSLR typically with my 28-200 Tamron lens which is my "walk around lens" and maybe a wide angle lens, that's it. If I am going to shoot an event or festival I will shoot add a Minolta 650si film camera with Kodak Portra 400 film which is excellent and which I have used a great deal of and almost 1/2 of my gallery is with this film, I might bring a Sigma 150-500mm lens as well.Feedback
Think outside the box, doodle, sketch. I carry a sketch pad with me and have an extra one in the car and backpack, I am always playing around with ideas and some of them I have shot or created into photos. Be patient, don't think conventionally! have fun, go a little crazy and finally...don't eat the props!!!
