For this shoot I wanted to get some shots of meals plated up.

I ended up taking 19 photos over a 2 days.

Editing

For this image of a piece of salmon, I felt that the lemon on top was muted and I wanted it to really stand out so I isolated the lemons and made the background black and white with a bit of vignette to add sort of a smoky feel.

Finals

This is probably my favourite image from the whole project. It is a simple lay out with an bottle and glass of wine and a piece of salmon cooked in paper. However so much thought went into the design of this photo, such as where the glass stood in relation to the shadows the way the bottle casts a green shadow over the wall adding more depth the the image and extending the backdrop further, pushing it away.

Evaluation

I did really enjoy this shoot, getting to try out more lighting ideas by using my dads heavy duty work light, altering brightness and the angle that it shone from. If I had to do it again, I would expand the shoot over several more days.
