Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a restaurant, in my 1st food photography freelance job.

Time

Early afternoon.

Lighting

The lighting was rather straight forward, with a flash bender as the main light behind the subject and a soft box to fill in from camera left.

Equipment

Kept it to a minimum, 2 light stands with a small soft box and flash bender as my light sources. The camera was my trusty Nikon D5100 with a 50mm f1.4 lens.

Inspiration

My inspiration was food that looks and tastes amazing! Wanted to translate that into my image, making the viewer salivate with hunger just by looking at it...think I got it!

Editing

Just a simple white balance adjustment and some sharpening, as the image came out of camera pretty much spot on.

In my camera bag

Try and keep it simple with a couple of flashes, a 50mm and a 55-200mm lens. Most times also carry some ND filters and a polarizing depending on the weather or assignment.

Feedback

My advice would be to play around with the angles, both the camera angle and the angle of the subject in relation to the camera. Also keep adjusting the light in order to get the defining magic touch. Oh yeah...don't forget to sample the goods at the end! hehe
