Hot Food and the Quest for the Perfect Photograph

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

One of my clients right now is a bar and restaurant that serves food every single day.  With their website coming into fruition soon I had to head down to the bar and take some pictures.  Fine.  It won’t take long.

Let’s just say… I was there for SIX hours.  But all was good.

One thing I suggest if you’re ever going to photograph food for that amount of time – have your breakfast!  I unfortunately thought that I would be fine despite the fact that I had neither of my two meals for the day, and while I was hungry for most of the day… Damn it was alright.

In total, I’ve taken about 250 photos of burgers, mussels and a whole load of fancy items.  But best of all, I was not alone as another flickr photographer, Lorainne, was there helping out.  We shared our boredom through the time but in all, I think we’ve gotten some good shots.

But what’s the best thing about this my little ones?  Free food.  Sure, most of the food displayed for the pictures were inedible – but they felt that since our well spent time was used wisely (we were only supposed to be there for an hour) they served us nicely decorated food with all the bells and whistles.

Oh, and free drink…

So, you may expect me to NOT be in such a good mood to write today.  I’ll see ya tomorrow instead…
