Food Photography at Tengda

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

Dining Room @ Lolita's

Notice my 580 on a flex arm hook to the overxposed plate, this will be retouched out for print.

Shot interiors and food at Lolita’s in Greenwich, tequila bar and excellent food, got to use the Overxposed plate I talked about in my last post, as a light stand for both my big Profotos and small strobes, as a camera stand, and a tray for food even!

Carne Asada on Tripod

To get this food closer to wall we used the plate attached to a tripod.

Setup for a plate shot.
