This one image gets brought up in calls and chats with clients more than any of my other images. It’s not a flashy splash image and it doesn’t have attention grabbing ingredients flying around the frame, so why does it get so much attention? ⚫️ It’s clean and clear. Every element is set perfectly in its place, no mess here, and just enough information is included to tell the audience what they’re looking at. Say the purple-colored ice cream scoop was on its own. How would you know the flavor? It could be blackberry, or blueberry cheesecake. I don’t have to tell people that it’s lavender honey ice cream, which is a bit unique, they’re easily able to come to that conclusion on their own. ⚫️ The styling is spot on. The texture of the ice cream scoop itself pulls the eye in with every ripple and is balanced out with the smooth honey that moves across the top of the scoop. And speaking of honey, you cannot deny the tension of that drip! The lavender brings in a playful element with the scattering of buds and completes a triangular composition with the scoop and the honey, which is pleasing to the eye. ⚫️ Color theory is a powerful thing. Purple and yellow are complimentary colors; they sit across from each other on the color wheel. Together they suggest authority and power. Talk about attention-grabbing! It’s a “simple” image, but it’s still wildly engaging. #productphotography #advertisingphotography #foodstylingandphotography #sanfranciscoproductphotographer #sanfranciscofoodphotographer #bayareaproductphotographer #bayareafoodphotographer #womeninphotography #foodstyling #sanjosephotographer #freelancephotographer

What is it like to work with me? 1) firstly, we have a chat about the purpose of this shoot: is it to be used for a print, is it for a new menu, is it for a cookbook…each one will have a slightly different approach to them. 2) secondly, we talk about the main subject, what particular food item would you like photographed? Or perhaps it’s a list of dishes, with plating preferences. In this case, the subject was fresh & organic bananas from the local market. 3) thirdly, we chat more about the style, lighting & colours/ backdrops. Styles include rustic, modern, minimalistic, vibrant etc. For this shot, the brief was - simple style, light background, end result is to be printed and hung for a kitchen wall. 4) then we talk about some more details like location & background setting, set a date & time, and anything else that the client would like mentioning. By addressing all these topics, we are prepared for the shoot and it ensures that we are both on the same page. Your time is important, and I value it highly.
