Gold and Silver at AAF-KC Addy Awards

Normally, David Morris Photography doesn't enter to many awards show as most of our work is product driven images.  Every once in a while a project will come to you that is more "Idea" base.  These are always fun because you get to really be creative.

We were reward this year with 2 Gold and 3 silver Addy awards for two such projects this year!

AAF-KC Gold awards

Dog at Blackboard received a Gold Addy 

Cargill's  Ranchers Reserve  received a Gold and 3 silver awards 

Thanks to all of our clients for an "AWESOME" year and can't wait to see what's in store for 2012!

Nothing like the smell of beef searing first thing in the morning!

I thought you might enjoy a little behind the scenes grill marking show and tell.

Our grill marking guru and food stylist Trina Kahl prays she gets it right the first time. (;-)

We try to mark the spacing and angle we want the grill marks before we sear them in the meat.  As you can see if you look at the sticks on the meat above, they look off and at a weird angle.  Now, from the camera angle they look perfectly spaced and at the correct angles.

Different food stylist make grill marks different ways.  Sometimes it's done on set, sometimes they use hot skewers, sometimes it's done on the stove in a super hot grill pan.  No matter how its done it always give a great look of grilled meat to the final shot.
