48/365 | Tea Shot
A test shot taken from one of the shots for a client's food shooting session.
The cup is placed on a white perspex on seamless table top.
3 flashlights altogether: One on camera left, the other on camera right, and one behind the perspex (behind the cup) pointing towards camera. The flashlight on left is shot via softbox, and the one on right shot through umbrella. One flashlight (bare) behind the perspex shooting towards camera, thus the shadow.
Food photography is a niche of its own, and for me - one of the hardest. And since we're doing photo shoot for a fast-food chain, almost all of the shots are taken at f/22 to make graphic designer's job easier (in etching out pictures from background). Extreme attention to details (we're talking makro here), and in need of a damn good food stylist.
This one here is not a final shot.
