spicy! – los angeles product photographer

Yes, just add product photography to the long list of things I’m learning to do! :) If you remember about a year ago, I was taking photos on the set of a cooking show and now this lovely chef is releasing her own line of spices. She said she loved how the food photos turned out and wanted me to try my hand at the spices as well. It was actually really fun – a lot of experimentation, trial and error, lighting challenges… but I was pretty pleased with the final outcome.

Love,

And everyone is so giving of their time and tips, you really can’t beat it!

I got to shoot in a real-life studio today for the first time and it was so exciting! It was part of my Intermediate Photography Class and it was really interesting being involved in the whole process. I had to choose the subject, choose my lighting, choose all my angles, choose where to bounce light, etc, etc. I really got to RUN the entire photo shoot. You kind of get put on the spot and have to boss a few people around, so it can be a little intimidating. But I had a great time just shooting tons of different angles and playing off the lighting. Hope I get the chance to do it again!

“ALL IN”

This series of pictures is now hanging in my hallway. Just playing around and it turned out alright.
