Not just people and places…
Something a little bit different for today, food. My friend Paul runs a business that sells puddings to pubs, bars, restaurants and other food outlets and he was complaining to me about the costs of studio time to get photos of his wares. I said I’d willingly have a go on a ‘no-win, no-fee’ basis. Time passed and Paul gave me a shout to say he needed some pictures doing and so, shortly afterwards, I found myself at Paul’s place up to my elbows in puddings!
Once we built and lit the set it was a relatively simple process to prepare the next pudding, position it and shoot it. The setup process cost us two or three puddings to get get right. After that, we romped through them. A bit of post-processing and these are the finished articles:
A side-benefit was that there were a lot of puddings left over – Paul brought bulk packs to the shoot just in case! – he doesn’t eat them, which is pretty understandable when he ships millions every year! I took them all home and filled the freezer! Anyway, it was all worthwhile, Paul emailed me today to organise another shoot!

Apr 19, 2009 - 08:04:53hi Paul, was just looking at the photos you did for us at the Harris’s at Easter they’re fab! However you pudding shots here are now sending me back down stairs to finish off the crumble we had for lunch. Though even with your photography skills am sure it wouldn’t have looked as good as these….
