Delectable Food Dishes for All of the senses with Freddy Clark

Words and Photos by Freddy Clark - A Platypod Pro
Edited by Eryka Bagwell

"The idea for this photo was to create a deliciously sweet treat that highlighted the smaller details by getting up close giving us a 1-to-1 close-up perspective."  

"Lighting, as always, is key.  There were two lights involved, one from back left and one up front slightly to the right.  These were left unmodified so they would be harsher and more directional.  The rear light was tasked with highlighting the top crumbs on the cake to really show off the texture on top of the cake.  The job of the front light was to showcase the fluffy interior of the cake helping entice the viewer to want to take a bite."

"Each lighting rig consisted of a Platypod Max with a Platypod Handle and an Elbow supporting a LumeCube Panel Pro 2.0."

"Another sweet treat featured fresh strawberries getting a heavy cream drizzle. This shot used a similar BTS setup to highlight the crevices of the seed pits in the strawberry as well as the front light which accentuated the heavy cream pour." 

"Bon Appetit!"
