Show Notes…
So this week a few things from the mailbag. Listener Gene asked a few questions about going pro, and also told me about his informational site at www.pixveritas.com I checked it out and there lots of info on there. Listener James also asked about the lab that recent guest Brady Dillsworth uses for his canvas gallery wraps. I check with Brady, and he said he uses Burrel Pro Labs

We talked more on the same topic we discussed last week “Inspiration” Listener Reuben sent in some inspiring quotes for photographers, and then I just talked about ideas that can help keep us going when we’re out shooting.

That’s about all for this week… Happy shooting

So this week was just me. We talked about better sound quality in the near future, and some show improvements. I made a call for all you to send in you ideas. I want to know what you do to get inspired in your work, and keel the creativity flowing. So send in your emails, and voice comments now. I also mentioned there is not a donation button over on the right. If you feel like supporting send a small contribution via paypal by clicking the button.I also talked about some recent problems with WPJA (wedding photojournalists association)
Then we finished up talking about goals plans, work flow, and inspiration ideas.

That’s it for this week. Look forward to hearing from you… Gavin

This weekend I did some more shooting for Sea Galley in Yakima. Had a good time, and got some good shots for a table tent going up for some Christmas treats.

After there shooting there was some left, and let me tell you both these pies are great. They just melt in your mouth. It was a significant challenge because we wanted to get the seasonal theme into the shot, but still show the pie well. Also pecan pie is not easy to work with in an image an make look really good. Overall I’m pretty happy worth the outcome, and I know that in a few days when these things go on the tables that these pies will sell like hotcakes (well actually pies)

The challenge on food shooting is from every angle, but it’s rewarding (if you know what I mean) It seems that every time you have a new item to shoot the rules change, because of the way it needs to be presented to look good. I’m finding as I learn more from shooting food that it’s immensely usefull to shoot digital, tethered to the camera so that there’s an instant preview. Food photography is a very client involved style of shooting, and aside from me being able to see what’s happening, the client really benefits by seeing as we go along so they can get exactly what they want.
