FOOD: Tengda Asian Bistro

580ex light from behind and 430 with softbox on left-high in this image.

Shooting some food for Tengda in Stamford, formerly Republic Grill, two sample shots for you.  I lit these with small speedlites, most food I don’t bring out the large strobes because we typically only spend an hour or so at a location, and with the smaller subject matter have a little more versatility to move light quickly.

The sushi chefs get to flex their creative muscle making these plates look unique and inviting
