Food pixels

Thanks to Dario @ foodpixels.com for a few hours of insight and demonstrations at his recent food photography course. I'm still learning alot and spending time in a professional studio helps provide a level to aspire and build to.

Here are a couple of shots from the day

On the way to work..

Sydney at the start of winter, too good not to take a detour on the way to work and take some shots. These were all taken around Pyrmont..

And then a couple from the way home...

Some food shots..

05/05/2011 Added new photos, Shirlyn had been doing some cooking and I had taken some photos but been a bit slow in uploading. The first is with natural light, the kitchen is next to the back door, which is one of those glass sliding doors facing north which really pumps the light in. On an overcast day it produces the lighting setup I like.

The 2nd shot is using a soft box that I made for my speedlight. I prefer the natural light.

Peter and Siska's Wedding

This was my first wedding, big thanks to Chris Handel for the opportunity to come and assist, the whole day was rained out but I think we still managed to get some decent shots. Along with fellow assistant Brendan Asprey, we were asked to take some shots of the groomsmen getting ready and then hot foot it to the ceremony and help out Chris from there. More to come later...

Zumbo treats...

From the guru himself, a batch of different flavoured macarons from the summer collection.
Cinnamon, banana, annunziata chocolate, sweet musk and pistachio.
