Last week I was busy doing some minor set building. We have been prepping to shoot some test shots with some new food stylists. We are going to be creating some beautiful new editorial food images to compliment our portfolio and our food packaging shots. We have a large quantity of props but not as many surfaces as we would like so it was time to use those artistic muscles in a slightly different way than when I look Read More

Food Packaging Shoot
We had another very successful food packaging shoot this week. We worked with a new food stylist, Karen Tully, and she did a great job. There is always a lot going on during a packaging shoot as we spend the morning playing with plates, sides, composition, etc. Once we pick a direction we continue to fine tune until we get things looking delicious and right where the client wants them. Here are a few photos that Debbie Read More
Studio Kitchen
Last week we had a new food client come to the studio for a shoot. This is a local client who is now creating baked goods mixes. We were lucky enough to work with Food Stylist Sunny Ricks again. Sunny was very busy mixing and baking and decorating in the studio kitchen. The studio smelled pretty awesome all day! And for dessert…carrot cake cupcakes, red velvet cupcakes, molten lava cake and pink lemonade squares! YUM! Read More

Luckily I always have some company in the studio with me. Benny, our Portuguese Water Dog loves to visit. The studio is cool in the hot summer months and Benny loves to keep cool. Our clients love Read More
Our images are getting around!
While Debbie and I were traveling to Portsmouth a few weeks ago we went by the High Liner Foods manufacturing plant and saw some of our images blown up very large on the side of tractor trailer trucks. They looked great! We love it when we see our images on the move. We learned that High Liner has 6 trucks all featuring different images we created. They are giant traveling billboards! What a great way to use the Read More

In the next 2 weeks I have 6 more showings Read More
Nick and Sunny working on food packaging shoot
We have the great fortune of working with a National food client for the past 10 years. Last year we had the even better fortune of them coming to us with a large project, 50 new packaging images! We are about midway through that project and it has been wonderful. The work is very meticulous, requires great patience and the lighting has to be outstanding. One of the fabulous things about this project has been getting the Read More
