Theme/topic of the presentation: Food Photography
Although there is only one rule in food photography (it must be appetizing), the first thing that we notice in any food image is: the lighting. Lighting in food images cycles through modes and approaches, changing every couple of years.
Advertising is always a few steps behind Editorial in photographic stylistic modes. While shooting for President’s Choice packaging, Adrien adapted current editorial approaches to the brand’s packaging images – limited depth of field and focused lighting. Adrien would like to share his unusual lighting techniques and discuss the creation of studio backgrounds for food photography.
