Studio Portrait Session

Portrait Photography Manchester

Great time in the studio with this gentelmen. It was really spontanious shoot, originally he didn’t want to do it but he ended up in fron of the camera πŸ˜‰ Typically for every guy in front of the camera the beginning was bit shy but after quick warmup everything went smoothly.

By the end he was really glad he did it. I’m so happy with the results, the pics turned out great.

Let me quickly explain lighting setup; fairly simple but interesting setup.

The shoot was done in our studio, on the paper background. in this case I used dark navy blue as it was going to be black and white from the beggining. As a main light I used 60cm Beuty Dish with little fill fron the reflector. Additionally I had two Stripboxes on either side. This allowed me to bring some details on both sides of the face and added bit of the feel to the shoot. Have a look at the pics below and let me know what you think.

This time I was invited to the Village Hotel in Bury to photograph some interiors after refurbishment. Great looking restaurant and bar area. The challenge to overcome was trying to get nice clear pictures without disturbing notmal functionality of the restaurant. Basically place was full of customers πŸ™‚

Luckily there isa smart trick that could be done to achieve just this. I used long exposures on the tripod which allowed me to get nice clear images witout any disturbance.

Let me talk a little about the equipment, this time as usual I’ve chosen my Nikon D800 but with zoom lens. It was one the the best lenses; Nikon 24-70 f1/2.8. As mentioned earlier I have used Manftoto tripod fot long exposures. Simple kit and bit of creativity can complete any task.Β

Village Hotel – Bake Off

Food Photography Manchester

 

Hwew we are again in a very special post as I was invited to photograph cooking contest hosted by Village Hotel. The event took place in Bury branch and what a day it was.

We were honoured by great guests judging toe competition. Firstly I had an oportunity to meet Candice Brown, The Great British Bake Off winner. Really charming lady who loves what she does best – baking. Another great celebrity chef was Aiden Bryne, one of the UK’s best chefs. I couldn’t not mention Village Hotel CEO Paul Roberts and head chef Mark Bennett whom I know for a while now.

Great emotions and even greater cooking skills represented by all the contestants. They fought hard for the precious awards and after laborious process of tasting and inspecting each plate the lucky winners were picked.

Big congratulations to everyone and thanks for the oportunity of photographing it all.

Please have a look below at some pics from the day.

Here you have some sample pics of the dishes all the contestants prepared as a little war-up. These weren’t final pieces of art, just a startups to get the stress out. I think they look preety good πŸ˜‰

Once the starters were ready we had a little break and everyone started working on the most important dishes. The atmosphere was great and everyone did their best to impress our judges. Have a look yourself.

Once everyone was happy with their work it came the judging time where each disch was inspected and tasted. Not bad work at all, looking at the dishes it was quite a challenge to pick the best one.

Finally judges selected the winner and everyone awarded received their prize πŸ˜‰ What a fantastic day, brand new experience that I hope to repeat. I’m very proud of the competitors for inventive approach and great skills. Have a look at the pics of some of the best dishes. Finger licking experience.

Village Hotel – Pub Food

Food Photography Manchester

 

Another great day of photographing food. I was invited byΒ Village HotelsΒ to photograph some of their pub specials. Finger licking affair and I loved every minute of it. We were presented with various dishes, from apetisers through some main courses with tasty desserts at the end. Food looked amazing so after few composition tweaks we were good to go.

A was accompanied by as usual Head Chef and few nice ladies from marketing departament. We had to make sure the results are exactly what we needed. We aimed to get some natural looking shoots that will capture all necessary details and vibrance of freshly cooked food.

On that day I was shooting using my Nikon D800 with some strobes as well as with available light for more moody feel. As a lens I used my favourite Sigma Art 50mm f1/1.4 as well as Sigma 105mm Macro for nice close ups. I’m really happy with the results and I’m sure I will see them again soon when I come in for another shoot.

Big congratulations to everyone and thanks for the oportunity of photographing it all.

Another creative day in the studio, we’ve been planning this session for a while and finally we got to do it. Typical corporate shoot for somebody who liked to improove their online presence. The easies way to do it is by getting some nice portraits done. Confidence, smile and open approach always pays off.

Let me quickly explain lighting setup; fairly simple but interesting setup.

The shoot was done in our studio, on the paper background. in this case I used dark gray as I think it looks much better on dhe darker background. As a main light I used 175cm octa with little fill from the reflector. This allowed me to bring some details on both sides of the face and added bit of the feel to the shoot. As a lens I used my prime Sigma Art 50mm f1/1.4 which never lets me down. Ocassionally I go for Nikon 85mm f1/1.8 but in this case I think the lens selection was correct. As a camera body I use my trusted Nikon D800. Great piece of kit and works amazing in the studio. Have a look at the pics below and let me know what you think.

I met this lovely lady when she aproached me about doing some pictures for her website. She knows hoe important this is to get people to create bond when seeing your pics. You can make good first impression only once so make sure you do it the right way. She looks amazing and we were both really happy with the results.

Let me quickly explain lighting setup; fairly simple but interesting setup.

The shoot was done in our studio, on the paper background. in this case I used dark gray aswell as white. She wated to have both options because we weren’t sure about final tonality on her website. As a main light I used 175cm octa with little fill from the reflector. This allowed me to bring some details on both sides of the face and added bit of the feel to the shoot. As a lens I used my prime Sigma Art 50mm f1/1.4 which never lets me down. Ocassionally I go for Nikon 85mm f1/1.8 but in this case I think the lens selection was correct.

Village Hotel – Wedding Menu

Food Photography Manchester

 

I couldn’t have missed this post. This was my very first assingment for this customer and it opened tons of possibilities in the field. I was really excited to get invited byΒ Village HotelsΒ to photograph some of their wedding menu dishes. All dishes prepared by head chef to be used as template through out all the hotel branches. Really important job to do and tons of dishes to photograph. It was a long and exciting day, I managed to try our some new light setups and results were stunning.

I used two light setups, as main setup I used two strobes and white table cloth as a background. This allowed me to shood with greater depth of field to capture more details of each dish. On the side I had another setup, window sill with available light and this time different lens with small depth of field. Doing it this way allowed me to capture everything in completly different way.

On that day I was shooting using my Nikon D800 with some strobes as well as with available light for more moody feel. As a lens I used my favourite Sigma Art 50mm f1/1.4 as well as Sigma 105mm Macro for nice close ups. I’m really happy with the results and I’m sure I will see them again soon when I come in for another shoot.

Big congratulations to everyone and thanks for the oportunity of photographing it all.

Please have a look below at some pics from the day.

Quite recently I was involved in yet another shoot for Village Hotels. This time it was an opportunity to shoot some fantastic looking and very tasty summer dishes selection. Really good idea for a light meal based on great ingredients and presented beautifully. Like on any shoot quick consultation with head chef as well as great company of The Ideas Department team.

It’s been few glitches along the way as we couldn’t decide about final concept but at the end of the day everyone was happy and that’s all about it.

Fantastic day, great people and super tasty food…
