New Season – New Food Photography<\/h1>\n

With summer arriving, the menus at Radisson in Leeds change – so they needed new Food Photography to promote it. I was invited down to work with the new chef and Tom, the mixologist, to create a whole set.<\/p>\n

The Food<\/h2>\n

The Fire Lake vibe is on the rustic edge, so we use some old wood and an old table for the Food Photography presentation. It gives that darker look too – so the bright, summer colours stand out.<\/p>\n

The light setup is pretty intense – 4 flashes all around the table, makes for interesting viewing for the hotel guests as they walk past! It’s quite a performance!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I loved this blue\/green plate – really made the fish dish appear delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This tomato and cheese dish showcases several different tomatoes – using that black plate really makes them sing from the photo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another angle on the first dish – to make the asparagus really stand out I got down to table level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A delicious pork\u00a0dish<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On to a cocktail – we carried on using the wood background for a few. Love these little glasses of ice – you pick up the “cone” to sip the rum, the ice keeps it cold for you.<\/p>\n

The brownies were amazing by the way<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The colours were so intense on this desert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s not a cigar, but a piece of cinnamon stick smouldering after Tom had set it alight. The top light catches it perfectly<\/a> to make the plume stand out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I always make these ultra close-up\u00a0shots if the drink has decoration – like the lemon skin here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For this we removed the back panel of wood – the background is now the open hotel bar. You can see that the ambient light doesn’t affect the photos – it’s all created with flash.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tom uses patterned ice cubes – that’s attention to detail!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They really do present this cocktail on that piece of wood, with the glass closh on top of it! And it’s full of smoke too…. The lights in the background<\/a> are above the bar<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ultra close up detail of a rum cocktail – I loved the detail on the orange slice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Can we help with your\u00a0Food Photography ?<\/h2>\n

Hopefully yes!<\/p>\n
