Food Photography



The difference between a menu at Pizza hut and professional food photography is a lot to do with the set up and theme of the image. Professional food shoots usually consist of a lot of preparation. The lighting and placement of everything is essential to get a good shot. Places that are taking pictures for menus rarely think about how the set up looks, the background lighting etc. It's mostly about the food, but even then, most of the restaurants don't go as far as professional photographers when fixing the food.

Wedding Photography - Photobooths

http://www.shutterbugbooth.com/booth

The link above is a photographer who provides the service of a photo booth. It's traditional like other photo booths that you see in malls. You are able to rent the booth for most events. How it works is you go in the booth and press the start button, pictures will be taken every few seconds, with a count down so you know when to pose. There's no photographer actually present in the booth, its all mechanical and performed with the highest quality equipment. After the photos are taken the pictures are printed out at another station, again with no one present. At the end of the event the images are all posted onto a website so people can view them. This is only one form of the photo booth, some are actually more like studio sessions with props etc.
