How many meals can be photographed in an hour?
The speed of photo shooting is affected by the complexity of the dish design and composition.
from 1 to 3 dishes per hour, depends on the complexity of the composition, if you need to put up for each dish.
up to 20 dishes per hour if we shoot without composition and on a solid colored background.
This price includes 1 technical hour to prepare the site and set up the equipment, 5 hours to shoot the food, and a closing technical hour to pack up the equipment. In total we will spend 7 hours at the site.
Live View shooting is possible - when the camera is connected to a laptop and the manager sees and agrees on the frames right on the site. Or the manager could be located remotely, and the laptop screen is broadcasted via Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc. In this case, the speed of work will still be affected by the time it takes the manager to coordinate.
What to expect?
The cost of the project is calculated based on the terms of reference. If you are preparing for your first ever photo shoot, references (examples of photos from the Internet, magazines, books, food packaging from the store) will help me achieve the desired result.
How does a food photo shoot take place?
Preparation
In order to perform the photo shoot in the best way, we discuss the goal and objectives in advance and agree on the style and concept. If you have a brand book and it describes the rules of photography or color combination, it will help us a lot in drawing up the terms of reference. As well as examples of photos that best fit your idea. Let's discuss tableware, props, and photographic backgrounds.
Photo shoot
On the day of the shoot, you and I will have an agreed upon list of food and beverages to work from and mark the positions we did. A technical hour is required before the shoot begins to prepare the location and set up the equipment. Once the shoot is complete, I clean up after myself and help return the location to its original appearance. Raw footage is exported with a watermark to a folder on cloud storage. I give the raw material to you for previewing and you call the shots in which I will make color correction and retouching. Thus we save time and process only the frames that suit you.
Ready-made result
The finished material is transferred in 5-7 days, in response to an email or chat message with the numbers of selected frames. The photos are transmitted via a download link from the cloud storage, which remains active for 6 months and, in case of need, you can download the photos again.
The format of the photos is jpeg, in full resolution.
