Campground Food Captures with Samantha Kennedy
Words and Photos by Samantha Kennedy, A Platypod Pro
Edited by Eryka Bagwell
"The images that were outdoors were done right next to the RV here in the campground. I went to the dollar store and purchased all of the props and dishes that were used in those images for ten dollars. I used my Platyball Elite on my tripod since I didn't have anywhere to set up my Platypod along with my Nikon Z7ii and the Z 70-200 f2.8 lens."
"The images taken indoors were made with my Platypod eXtreme, Platyball Elite and the Platypod Handle so I could get my camera up higher when using it on the countertop. The other images where I couldn't set up the Platypod eXtreme were made with my tripod and the Platyball Elite so I could be farther back. They were photographed with my Nikon Z7ii and the Z 24-70 f2.8 lens since I couldn't get far enough back with the 70-200 indoors."
"I know you challenged me to photograph food and normally I only photograph landscapes but my 7 year old granddaughter had a lot of fun helping set up the outdoor scene. The indoor photos were done at my daughter's house and we had a great time making the pizzas from scratch and photographing it from start to finish."
