Fruit! Lots of Fruit!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything food-related, but yesterday was a great shoot and worth posting. Shot for one of my best clients and worked with the master food stylist, Dan Macey.

The lighting for these images came from an unusual use of the strobes and setup.  The client wanted sunlight, so we gave them sunlight. 

These will be cropped a bit tighter and used for packaging, so some of the surrounding props will disappear.

All of the images were shot using grid spots, barn doors, mirrors, some improvised diffusion material, Elinchrom Midi Octa, etc., etc. What I thought would be a simple lighting setup turned out to be an exercise in resourcefulness. Main thing: client was happy and we spoke of future jobs.

Patience is a virtue? Yes. 

A necessity? Definitely!
