Power Up Nutrient snacks

Power  Up Nutrient Snacks

I have just started to shoot another healthy book. This time the subject matter is the trendy subject of nutrient snacks. Our task is to make this basically brown owl pellets look lovely. Yet again I am in the hands of the very talented Sara Lewis food stylist whizz. They are her recipes and she has had in her mind how they will look. This makes it much easier for me as a photographer. There is nothing worse than worthy food that also looks worthy. Brown balls of health are not very photogenic. So Sara has tried to keep them, healthy, varied and attractive. This is some challenge. Then of course we need to get the props right. A good variety of containers, packaging and backgrounds. The idea is that you take these little balls of power with you to work, the gym, the park or school. So they have to be portable.

I am shooting in my usual studio in Kennigton and using daylight. It is during our mini heatwave so not the best of conditions. Shorts and T shirt the dress code. There is only the two of us so a calm shoot. We are in charge creatively which is rewarding. More Power to us, pardon the pun. My designer has told me I need to write 300 words a blog so please excuse the waffle. Any way that is enough for today. Back to the owl pellets.
