They've gotten rave reviews from Presidents, sports stars, celebrities, foodies, and of course by yours truly.<br />
<br />
We had the privilege of being asked to shoot their food for the new website. Joe's Kansas City is now selling their world famous Bar-B-Que all over the USA from the website. Now, if you're in Memphis or Seattle and need a great BBQ fix, all you need to do is order it.<br />
<br />
This was an especially gratifying project since it's a locally owned company and we're big fans!<br />
<br />
Joe's KC came to us and said we want some great photography,<br />
but we don't want our photography to look like all the other companies selling BBQ on the web. We want the photos to capture the authentic and real look and feel of our product. The shots should look as if the pit master just took it out of the hot smoker. We don't want it to look perfect. We want it to look authentic with some meat drippings on the surface, the utensils to be a little messy. We were fortunate to find a hundred year old butcher block table for our background. It is 12"thick and three and a half foot in diameter and made out of one solid walnut log. It set the tone for the whole shoot with it's authentic wear and cracked surface. To finish out the authentic and real look, we shot with all natural light and let the shadows go a little dark.<br />
<br />
Here are a few fun images from behind the scenes, along with a few of our favorite final shots. <br />

We recently released our 2016 Food Reel. It's a compilation of a number of projects I've directed and help produce. Food photography and motion are much the same, in that you are striving to get the attention of the viewer with mouth watering visuals to make them desire the product. I've included a few behind the scenes photos of one of the shoots. </div>

<br />
Most photographers have people that have influenced their careers. Randy and Jeri Masoner were a big influence in my photo career.<br />
<br />
Many years ago I met Randy at McClue studios here in Kansas City. Randy was the studio manager and let me hang out and watch his photographers shoot while I was still going to school. Fast forward a few years and Randy opened his own studio where he hired me as a freelance photographer to come in from time to time to help photograph product when they didn't have enough staff photographers to finish a project on time. At that time Jeri had her own interior design firm she ran out of the same building. A few years later, Randy and Jeri shut down their KC studio and moved to Dallas. Randy was hired by Omega studio's to be the studio manager and Jeri was the head set designer. Omega studios was a 250,000 square foot studio with a huge staff. They shot room sets, product, and apparel for some of the largest big name retailers in the business. Retailers like J.C. Penneys, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue were some of their clients. A few years later Randy and Jeri opened their own 23,000 square foot Dallas studio, R&J Creative Images. <br />
<br />
From the beginning I always felt like one of the family. Randy was always so patient teaching me how to photograph and light. He also taught me to be an efficient shooter and manage time. Jeri was like the studio mom. Always caring and kind and would often cook a huge pot of food for all the employees for lunch. My favorite was her gumbo! Jeri would always make you feel special and appreciated and that's so rare in a work environment.<br />
<br />
Before Randy left for Dallas he asked if I wanted to buy some of his equipment. I explained I would love to but didn't have the money at the time. Randy said no problem, just send me $100.00 a month until it's paid off. He left me with the equipment and we shook hands on the deal. Randy's trust in me and that equipment deal was one of the biggest aids to get me going in business. Oh, by the way, I did pay it off and I'm still using that equipment today.<br />
<br />
From time to time the Kansas City market would die and there would be no work for months. I'd call Randy up and see if he would need any freelance help in Dallas. Somehow every time I called he would find me work. I'd go to Dallas and work for 2 to 3 weeks or until it got busy back in KC. Being able to work in Dallas when the Kansas City market was slow was invaluable. This allowed me to keep my doors open and opened my eyes to different styles of lighting and big productions. Any time I would have a question about photography or lighting, Randy was more than happy to stop what he was doing and help me solve the problem. <br />
<br />
This week Randy and Jeri stopped by the studio on their way through town.<br />
We were able to have lunch and catch up on old times. If you don't have a mentor or someone you can trust to tell you the truth reach out and find one. They are invaluable. Thanks Randy and Jeri for all the help and encouragement over the years. It was so good to have your influence in my life and career.<br />

Last week I was going through some old job files to make
room for 2015’s records.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It gave me a moment to pause and observe how the state of
the advertising and photography industries has changed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before you make any assumptions that this is a rant about the
good old days, its not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s only
to make some observations and let you draw your own conclusions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the consistent observations I made was that there are
significantly fewer photography projects, photographers are being asked to
shoot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is one example of a
simple shot of a newspaper clipping on white with a drop shadow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>About a third of what I shot in years
past were C.O.B.’s of simple things on white.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now these shots rarely exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are now mostly computer generated or shot in
house by an art director.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve included the invoice for this shot and blacked out any
names of people or agencies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Observe
the limited usage licensing and the price we were regularly getting for a shot
like this. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My observation is that in today’s marketplace photographers
are getting around the same price, as we did 20 years ago, but in order to get
the project you will need to do twice as many shots in the same amount of time.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow
for much creativity when you’re pushing every second of the day to rush threw
the shot list.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what’s changed?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well for starters here are some observations:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When these projects were shot, photographers would buy one
pro camera ($650.00) and some lenses every 10 or so years and just kept loading
film in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you shot with 4x5
or 8x10 then you would have to spend ($3000.00 to $5000.00) once in your career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, one needs to purchase a new pro
DSLR camera ($3000.00), if you shoot with a large megapixel back you’ll be
spending ( $10,000.00 to $25,000.00), plus a good computer ($2000.00 to
$4000.00), plus software ($1200.00), plus, plus, plus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of these will need to be up graded
or purchased new every 3 years to keep up with the technology changes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, gas, utilities, insurance, cost of rent, food, cars,
housing, crew, models, stylist, etc have all doubled or tripled in cost yet
photographers, in general, still charge about the same or less than they did 15
to 20 years ago.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ten years ago P.O.’s were simple, non-confrontational, and
easily negotiated. Our terms and conditions were 5 to 6 items (less than a
page).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, terms and conditions
are 15 to18 items and 2 to 3 pages long.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is to counter act current P.O.’s that attempt to take away
creative’s ability to make a living.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One observation that seems to have stayed the same over the
years is what I call, “The grass is always greener over there” syndrome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s when a local client has a
good budget and a cool project they tend to go out of town to shoot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know, this is painting with a broad
brush and not every client does this, but many times it’s true.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My observation is that this is short sighted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes tax dollars out of the local community
that provide better schools, roads, and infrastructure. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve seen this happen in years past and
the result is a reduced high quality talent pool in the local market.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My final observation is this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In general, photographer’s costs have increased, and our
client base has decrease. Corporate consolidation and changes in the market
place has led to (few if any catalog, annual reports, print campaigns, etc.)
more video and still shoots are being done in house, and budgets have been
cut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Along with this,
photographers have started to take a piece of the video pie, which dilutes the
viability of talented video and production companies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Agency’s art directors and designers are swamped, portfolios
are mostly viewed on line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
rarely allows for the personal interaction that builds beneficial relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This historically leads to a vendor –
product relationship instead of a mutually beneficial creative partnership. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wonder how long our current commercial photography
business model will support a creative and high quality photo industry in the
mid-west.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This isn’t good for
either the advertising industry or the photography industries futures.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the positive side, digital has opened up a whole new
realm of creativity, the internet has made the world our market place, and for
some clients your IPhone and a GoPro is all you need to shoot a project. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wait, is that positive?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The market place is what it is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It always changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I thought it would be interesting to reflect on a few of the market
place changes in the past 20 years from someone that has lived it.</div>

Over the years, we've shot a number of projects for them and this happened to be the second new product launch we've worked on. Back in the day, we shot a new sandwich called the jalapeno burger. It was spicy!<br />
<br />
This recent shoot was a little different from what we'd done in the past as we were asked to capture stills and video of the new BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. The client also wanted us to create a more relaxed, real environment for this project.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
To keep the project streamlined and consistent, David chose to shoot the stills and video with the same lighting. He didn't want to change from strobes to continuous lighting, and we were able to accomplish this by using some brighter lights and a shallow depth of field.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In addition to ensuring the lighting was consistent, another challenge we were presented with was to show the product steaming hot in the video. We discussed a variety of ways to do this, but in the end, we just used real steam. <br />
<br />
The end results – another successful shoot and happy clients. What more could we ask for?!?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Early in my photographic career, two of my photographer friends were out on a fine art photo trip and I suggested we all take a photo from the same tripod holes. I wanted to experiment and see if we all saw the world in the same way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To my surprise, all of our photographs looked completely different. We all have, what I call our own "Visual Language". Everyone sees the world in their own unique way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently took this a step further and looked to see if there were any similarities between my personal fine art photography and my commercial photography.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>

For those of you just getting started, the process of finding your personal "Visual Language" will take some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best way I know to figure this out is to shoot, shoot, shoot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other advice I have that has helped me figure this out is, print out little thumbnail prints (no more than 2x3 inches ) of your favorite images. Lay them out on the floor and start putting the images together that look and feel similar. This will help you start seeing your own "Visual Language".</div>

When you shoot commercial and advertising photography, it is all about the details. One needs to pay attention to the little things to produce an outstanding image.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although it isn't evident to most people at first glance, you can tell the difference between an image where the details were focused on and one where they weren't when you view them side by side. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why is focusing on the details important you ask? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. In many cases, an expert eye up front will save time on back-end post production.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Details can help showcase the quality of a product.</div>
3. Details play a part to help differentiate one brand from another.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some of the details we pay attention to when food is involved are: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Ensuring the background and serving ware are clean. No dust, drips, spills, etc.</div>
2. Making sure the design of the food is pleasing. No faces in the food, no tangents, etc. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Confirming the correct number of food items called for in the serving size.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you're wondering about detail number three above, you wouldn't believe how many consumers count every single piece of food in a photo and complain if they don't get that many pieces! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Having emphasized the importance of details, you must remember to have some fun on set too.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most photographers can count on one hand the number of times they pitched an idea to an agency and the client went for it. This project was just that! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our friends at Woodruff Sweitzer came to us because one of their clients wanted to shoot of all the ingredients that went into their product. "Do you have any ideas?" they asked. We said we'd think about it and get back to them in a couple days.<br />
<br />
After doing a little research on the product, it seemed to have a very Alaskan wilderness feel. David called the Woodruff Sweitzer team and suggested creating a set similar to a rustic Alaskan hunters cabin, with an appropriately rustic table on which to place all of the ingredients. "What the heck!" David said. "We might as well go for broke and make it look like an old Dutch Masters painting!" </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, to David's surprise, both the agency and client loved the idea!<br />
<br />
Now what? How do we pull this off?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fortunately, the final deadline allowed plenty of time to gather all the props and get the food products researched, ordered and assembled. It goes without saying that adequate time to prepare upfront really makes a difference to the final outcome of a project.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We ordered a rustic wood background, fresh salmon and trout flown in from Seattle, smoked leg of lamb, wild boar prosciutto, venison, turkey, berries, flowers and so much more. We researched and locally sourced the perfect table to shoot on. It just so happened though that the day we went to pick the table up, it was on sale, and all three Kansas City stores were sold out. Fortunately, we were able to find a similar table available in town. Wowza, that was a close call!<br />
<br />
On shoot day, everything went flawlessly. The creative team's direction along with David's vision and our food stylist's top notch styling resulted in a final image that everyone was elated with. We collaborated well and had fun along the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
David didn't have anything in his portfolio that looked at all like his vision, yet the agency and client trusted that we could pull it off. He will be forever grateful for their trust. This project specifically reinforces that just because a photographer doesn't have an image of a red
shoe or kid playing basketball or a "__fill in the blank__" in their portfolio, doesn't mean they can't shoot exactly what you need and
make it look awesome.<br />
<br />
We truly believe that if opportunities for photographers and agency creatives to collaborate happened more frequently and sooner in the creative process, there would be more innovative and eye catching advertising imagery in the marketplace. <br />
<br />
Please keep throwing challenges like this at us, and we'll keep knocking them out of the park!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks for joining us for our final installment in this three part series on launching a new brand. If you've followed along, you know that we've discussed what it takes to prepare for a large photo and video shoot, how many people it <i>actually</i> takes to pull off a production, what factors are taken into consideration when planning and prepping and how decisions are made on set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the components of this multifaceted project was a video to announce the launch of the brand into the marketplace. Our client challenged us to capture all of the following in a two minute video – the ease with which a number of their products could be prepared, customers in a restaurant enjoying the prepared products and multiple testimonials from actual brew pub owners talking about why they liked and used the products. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Add to that a script that was still in flux days before the shoot began, some <i>extremely</i> short deadlines, the logistical aspect of shooting at four locations, confirming models, extras, food recipes, props, etc...you get the idea. While it was a lot to wrangle, capture and edit, it was a challenge we were totally up for!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shooting in the studio and on location in Kansas City, Grand Rapids, MI and Springfield, MO, we captured days of video footage. We can't say enough about how wonderful the video crew, food stylists, production coordinators, talent agency and others we're surely failing to remember were, and how they were the ones who really made this large production come together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A special thank you to Isaac Alongi who DP'd, edited and colored this video project. Without his talent and flexibility, the end result would not be nearly as beautiful as it is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It truly takes a village, and we've got a great one surrounding us! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">In our second installment of this series, we're highlighting what it takes to work on a new food product brand launch.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">You've heard the saying, "It takes a village," but what does that really mean? Well, a recent shoot we did required the combined effort of all of the following people:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Artist Representative</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Production Coordinator</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Photographer</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Photographer's Assistant</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Retoucher</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Food Stylist</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Food Stylist Assistant</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Associate Creative Director </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Art Director</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Account Manager</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brand Manager</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Client</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Craft Services Crew</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">That's a lot of cooks in the kitchen (pun intended)! But every one of them plays an integral part of the production. As a studio owner and photographer, it's David's job (and pleasure) to see that everyone works together to accomplish our primary goal. Over the years, we've been lucky enough to work with great clients and crews to produce superior images and have some fun along the way.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Check out some of the behind the scenes images from the new brand launch shoot. And be sure to check back for the third installment of this series in two weeks.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were recently commissioned to collaborate on the launch of a new brand for a major food corporation headquartered in Toronto, Canada. A project of this size requires dynamite coordination to ensure the production goes flawlessly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this three part series, we're going behind the scenes to show you what it takes to prepare for a shoot of this size, what factors are taken into consideration and how decisions are made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first challenge on this new brand launch was to capture still images for a print campaign. The client wanted a dark, rich setting that gave the imagery a dramatic look and feel. This required sourcing a multitude of backgrounds, surfaces, props and accessories. Once everything was pulled together, the client had a wide variety of options to choose from so we could achieve the desired look and feel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, we fried everything from onion rings to mac & cheese bites, beer battered fries to mozzarella sticks and pickles. It was a fried food lovers heaven! One of the great things about our commercial kitchen is that we have a commercial hood vent over the stove and fryers. If you've ever been a part of a fried food shoot, you know how invaluable this kitchen accessory is. It can take weeks for the "fried smell" to disappear from the studio if you don't have a hood vent. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another important factor you must take into consideration when shooting a food product that is distributed to restaurants is serving size. That is why we weigh the product used in every photo. There's a lot of discussion that goes into serving size – is it a shareable appetizer or a small plate? Will it be served at a casual dining restaurant or a gastropub? All of these factors must be considered when plating product. You don't want to visually over-promise the customer; otherwise, they'll
be quite disappointed when their order arrives at the table.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the first three days under our belt, we had a lot of fun and captured the rich imagery our client desired. Check back in a couple weeks for the next installment in this series where we'll take a look at how many people it actually took to pull off this production. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until then, enjoy these behind the scene photos!</div>

The new year holds promises of a clean slate, revitalization, a new outlook. In line with that, we decided to do a little renovation at the studio to freshen it up. Our space lends itself to an urban-industrial feel, so we said, "Hey, why fight it?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you enter the studio, you are welcomed by our new chalkboard wall and collection of nicknacks. The chalk art here, and throughout the studio, was commissioned by the talented Lauren Hunt. You could stand here for an hour taking in all of the pieces David has
collected over the years. There are antique cameras, eye glasses he made out of camera lenses and family heirlooms, like the bench under the chalkboard. It was built in 1905 and was an original fixture in his grandfather's barber shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We did a little redecorating in the kitchen, too. Some new wallpaper and decor give it a fresh look and feel. All of the light fixtures received a facelift as well with new Edison bulbs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're really happy with how things turned out. So, stop by and take a peek! We'd love to give you the tour in person and celebrate the year ahead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheers to a great start to 2015! </div>

We've been shooting some projects lately that tell more of a visual story than straight-up product shots. The concept of these projects has been to entice the viewer with mouthwatering food and invite them into the world we've created. Let us walk you through a couple of the stories.</div>

I know you can smell warm peanut butter cookies with a hint of coffee from the Java Jam drizzled on top. You can feel the ice cold, creamy milk as it hits the back of your throat, chasing the tasty cookie. You can also imagine yourself in that warm, sun-drenched kitchen listening to the birds chirp through an open window on a lazy weekend afternoon. Can't you? </div>

It's summertime in the South. Someone grabs an old, weathered table and drags it under a huge oak tree for a picnic on a steamy afternoon. On the menu? Spicy Southern fried chicken, buttermilk biscuits smothered with Tupelo honey, pickled tomatoes from the garden, cabbage slaw and fresh squeezed lemonade. Finger-lickin' good!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We were recently tasked with shooting a sunflower seed for an ad agency that specializes in agriculture. Their client needed the image for a billboard and print ad campaign. For comparison, sunflower seeds are about 3/8 inches tall by 1/4 </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">inches</span></span> wide. Billboards, on average, are 14 feet tall by 48 feet wide. So...in order to get images of the teeny, tiny seed as large as possible, we needed specialized equipment. We rented a Canon MP-E 65mm Macro Lens that is capable of 5x magnification and a focusing rail. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because of the extreme magnification, we had very little depth of field – say, about the thickness of a sheet of paper. Therefore, we ended up employing a process called "focus stacking." We shot in increments of 1/4 centimeter to capture 15 images of the seed at various focal depths. While none of these 15 images had the seed entirely in focus,
collectively, they contained the data needed to generate one focused image of a sunflower seed. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We used Photoshop to blend the 15 shots together and generate the final seed image. Photoshop masks out the unfocused areas and keeps the areas of the image that are in focus. The end result is a crystal clear image in focus from top to bottom. Stand alone programs such as <a href="http://www.heliconsoft.com/" target="_blank">HeliconSoft</a> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; white-space: nowrap;">and <a href="http://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker" target="_blank">Zerene Stacker</a> also offer this feature.</span> If you plan to do a good deal of macro focus stacking, I'd suggest investing in a stand alone program. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Photography is about problem solving and visually communicating what your client wants to say. This project employed one of the smallest subjects we've ever photographed, and we had a blast figuring out how to show every detail of a sunflower seed!</span></span></div>

Although you can come close to imitating natural light, that imitation simply isn't the same. The combination of natural light and a long exposure time adds a quality to images you just can't achieve any other way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we designed our studio, we knew we wanted to be able to shoot with natural light. As part of the studio design, we added softening silks and blackout curtains to the windows so we could control the amount of sunlight that comes through to naturally light a set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We recently shot a new line of holiday candles for Trapp Candles, one of our amazing, long time clients. On this particular project, we were challenged to illustrate how consumers can use Trapp's products in and around their homes. We were also challenged to show retailers how they can best display Trapp's products and achieve greater sales results. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We wanted the light in each shot to look natural, like you'd see in your own home or in a retail store window. So we used the softening silks to diffuse the natural sunlight while still highlighting the products and set.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may look at these behind the scenes images and ask yourself, "Why in the world are the table and chairs on apple boxes?" In order to achieve the right perspective between the table, product and background, we had to raise the table and chairs. If we hadn't done this, we wouldn't have been able to see enough of the fireplace mantel to frame the shot. Just another trick of the trade!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had some fun recently shooting for the Turkey division of a long time client. As always, behind the scenes and out of sight of the camera, everything tends to look a little different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
An interesting challenge with this project was we needed to find a way to photograph four farmers once and have the ability at a later date to change out the food they were holding. We decided the best solution was to choose one plate and one platter that we would use over and over again. We made a support device that would hold the empty plate and platter in a fixed position that allowed the models to hold them differently expressions and body positions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whenever there's a chance we will shoot additional images that require the same look and feel (lighting, spacial relations, perspective, etc.), we craft drawings and take measurements of everything on set. This allows us to recreate the exact set-up and shoot more food that can be photoshopped onto the plate and platter we originally shot with the farmers. And an added bonus – by keeping the plate/platter supporting device thin, we have minimal retouching! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At <a href="http://www.davidmorrisphoto.com/portfolio/david-morris">David Morris Photography</a> we continue to shoot for awesome clients who see the value in the consistent look and feel we provide them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2011 I blogged about <a href="http://davidmorrisphoto.blogspot.com/2011/04/visual-branding.html">Visual Branding</a> and the importance of <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">continuity in your images</span>. Whether it's stills or video, many clients want a consistent look in their marketing materials. Here's why – it makes them instantly recognizable and conveys </span>quality and <span style="font-family: inherit;">reliability.</span></div>

The storyboards are approved. The set is prepped and lit. The food is ready for its close-up. LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Easy, right? Well, what you may not know is it took two days, seven crew members, tons of video lighting and equipment, special effects rigging, specialty food equipment and then some to shoot two nine-second videos.</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, and I didn't mention all the footage editing and post production time.</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
We love shooting stills and video, but there's a lot of work that goes into it. If you're considering getting into shooting beautiful food and still life videos, remember, it can be way more complicated than you think!<br />

Part of a photographer's "behind the scenes job" is to back-up, archive and catalog every image he shoots for his clients.<br />
<br />
This is a great article (and video) describing how one photographer handles backing up his work. This process may seem a bit excessive, but it's a good, safe approach. At our shop, we charge between $75 – $350 per job.<br />
<br />
Remember, none of your equipment, software or time is free, so charge for it!<br />

Recently our friend, food stylist, Sarah Hunt invited me up to her home to shoot some editorial shots. She lives in a marvelous old fire station in Omaha Nebraska. We had no preconceived plan, just knew it was going to feature rhubarb. I left KC around 5:00am so I could get to Omaha and shoot in some morning light.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being primarily a studio photographer I work in very controlled environments with all kinds of lighting and equipment at arms length. The fun thing about editorial food photography is you never know what your environment will be and most of the time you travel light. This time I traveled with my camera bag, my location computer, a light stand, and a fill card . The other fun part about editorial food photography is, if something cool catches your eye you shoot it. You are not trying to shoot images to fit within a packaging window or a specific layout, you are visually telling a story about someone or something. </div>

So where do you begin? Well the obvious place to start was picking some fresh rhubarb out in the rhubarb patch. Beautiful morning light allowed me to get some great shots under the rhubarb leaves and some nice shots of Sarah holding the picked rhubarb. Neither of us were in any hurry so Sarah suggested she could make some fresh homemade biscuits for breakfast and shoot some shots of them with rhubarb preserves. Who am I to argue! After eating and shooting some biscuits it was time for lunch. Sarah, Mark and I went to a great little burger place called Drinkers. If you're in Omaha, check them out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After lunch, Sarah made a rhubarb and strawberry pie. While it was in the oven baking she decided to make a hipster drink called the "The Cracker Queen". The ingredients included moonshine, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, rhubarb juice, and who know what else. Not my cup of tea but visually fun to shoot. As the title of the post indicates, Sarah had never had rhubarb pie before. Hot out of the oven I shot some of it's precious juices spilling out of the pan. After shooting some fun shots of the pie we couldn't wait to cut a slice, put some vanilla ice cream on it and head to the back porch for a little slice of heaven.</div>

Sarah, thanks for the invite, great food styling, fun hospitality, and awesome shoot. </div>

Lately, we have been shooting a lot of both stills and video ice cream projects. Both fake and real ice cream photography have their challenges but by far some of the hardest photography you will ever do is real ice cream.<br />
<br />
The obvious is that real ice cream melts. But what may not be so obvious are all the other factors that effect real ice cream shots. Here are just a few:<br />
<br />
Studio humidity<br />
Studio temperature<br />
Freezer temperature<br />
Ice cream temperature to get the right barking on the scoop<br />
Types of nuggets, nuts, chocolate ribbons, carmel ribbons, etc that is in the ice cream.<br />
Temperature of the ice cream bar coating<br />
Fat content of the ice cream<br />
etc., etc., etc.<br />
<br />
Although ice cream photography isn't brain surgery, it's one of the closest think you'll come to it as a photographer.<br />

<br />
I’m so excited to show you our latest work!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
Lately we’ve been using our ability to sculpt light in a unique and creative way. Yes, what you’re looking at is all light! In the next few weeks we’ll be unveiling a series of image ads where we’re using light a little differently. We’re thrilled about this unique visual approach to get your client's products to stand out. <br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Working in the advertising photography business can be <u>extremely</u> fun, yet at times very stressful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My goal is always to produce the best imagery as we can for our clients, and have fun doing it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm normally a serious person when working, but, I find it pretty easy to laugh at myself! I say and do some pretty silly stuff. What helps is to surround yourself with people that are fun and funny. Life is a lot more interesting that way. If you really stop and think about it what we do and how we do it seems pretty silly to the outside world. That is -outside of the advertising world.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take for example food photography. We pick through cases and cases of food to find 6-10 perfect chips, we glue seeds on buns so they look perfect, we spend hours playing with the food on set just to get everything in it's right place, we glue hotdog buns together so they don't spread apart on set then we pin the hotdogs and buns together so they don't move. We use a fabric steamer to steam bread so it doesn't dry out and crack and we use steaming hot tampons hidden behind food so it looks like the food is steaming hot. Now you have to admit, this seems pretty silly to someone not in the business. Quite frankly just writing about it puts a silly grin on my face.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In spite of how silly it looks or is, we all work hard making it happen. Over the years we've put together a fun and hard working team of people that make the work look outstanding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Food stylists, assistant food stylist, photo assistants, retouchers, producers, production coordinators, digital techs, grips, directors, set builders, hair and make-up stylists, the list goes on and on. We truly appreciate all the team members we've been able to work with.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the day if you love what you do, have fun doing it, and like the people you do it with, life doesn't get much better. </div>

I recently had the privilege to work on a food video project where we captured product falling in slow motion and hand models in action. Had a great crew to work with that exercised a ton of patience with shooting food in action. When you have pans, tilts, dolly action, food moving and hand models dipping product, the project can get fairly complex and tedious.</div>
