Even though I've been shooting for
years, recently, after learning how to
prepare a few tasty dishes on my
own, I discovered how fun it is to also photograph food....especially when
you're done and get to eat all of the
props. On a more serious note, these
highly graphic, high-key images show
that even the basic elements of food
can provide interesting compositions
that tell stories with their simplicity,
creative placement and symbolism.
Furthermore, with prepared dishes
the process of food styling and presentation can be a very
creative and rewarding challenge.
Especially, when it comes to
building a shot to make it look not
only appetizing, but artistically
appealing as well.
(For more on that, please see my blog.)

As you might imagine, coming up
with concepts to illustrate abstract
ideas can be fun, such as this
Spring Forward piece to your right.
However, shooting a catalog
of products with a cohesive
brand identity can be interesting
and creative as well. And we
accomplished exactly that for
Suisun Valley, California
based, metal sculptor,
Phillip Glashoff.
