Brunch

Bunch at NECI on Main is a wonderful treat, if not an indulgence. Besides custome-made omlettes, there's a hot-carved meat table, a bountiful selection of pastries, sweets and breads, plus a variety of savory items such as sushi!

Testing out my new pair of 500 watt strobes and softboxes, I managed this image of dishes prepared by Chef Doug's catering class:

Food Photography

At a food photography workshop I conducted recently, I explained the importance of understanding light and different techniques to create photographic exposures to make the subject look appealing and delicious.

After a slide show of my explorations in food photography with examples from my recent portfolio, we used a sheet of ice to experiment with creative lighting using colored gels, a simple work lamp and an off-camera flash unit.

Here are some example images of our improvisation.

Pumpkin Rising

Autumn season again, and that means many things; bountiful harvests, fresh apples and pumpkin pie!

Seen at brunch!
