Must be willing to hold a relfector to exact specifications of photographer/creative director-no back talk! I can only afford payment in food at this point in time.
.
This blog is currently experiencing some technical difficulties. It has become increasingly difficult to find workers who are willing to hold a reflector for long shoots while I photograph food at different angles, ad nauseum . Insubordination is rampant on the set of the shoot and and employees have been observed playing with food after it has been painstakingly placed and styled in a very precise manner. Here is an example of a ruined shoot. It was supposed to be part of a set of pictures on ratatouille. As you can see my assistant decided that making tomato eyes was predominantly more interesting than precision angling a tomato or the compositional relevance of wood grain. This is more along the lines of what the photographer was hoping for
Finally, for those of you who may be interested I have started a project called one thousand faces. Click here for details.
wonderful post and gorgeous photo! can we borrow your assistant?
ReplyDeleteHah! You're hilarious. If you pay for my airfare, lodging, food, etc. I would love to be your assistant haha.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the first photo of the tomato eyes. :(
I'm going to other project now.

ReplyDeletevery cute - looks like you guys are having fun! Looking foreward to heirloom tomatoes arriving at the greenmarkets in ny.
ReplyDeleteI love those tomato eyes! AND those tomatoes. They look too wonderful to be real this early in May (at least in Belgium)
ReplyDeleteWiz, thanks for following my travels. It's good to be home and to be able to check in with you. I'm off to check on your new project.
love those tomatoes :-) and the insubordinate helper isn't too bad either :-)
ReplyDeletethat must be why I don't have a set up - I have no assistant, good or bad. I have a niece and nephew, however, who have grown up with the D80 staring them in their face, so they know how to take off the lens cap, turn the lens to focus...and "take pityure Aunty!" And they're only 4 and 2...time to get them into training for reflector holding :-D
I'm loving me Mr. Tomato Eyes, He has a beautiful smile :}
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a post out of having so much food blogging fun... and your assistant is so cute, and oh yes, the tomatoes too :-)

Scene-Hired! Doh stick now when you find out how very boring it is:-) Seriously tho, calling you and your fabulous earrings out for my faces project. PUHLEASEEEEEE
ReplyDeleteThe model and the tomatoes are gorgeous! At least you have assistants, even if they do their own thing. You should see me trying to balance the camera in one hand the the reflector in the other. Oh, and don't talk about when I want to take a shot of something pouring!
ReplyDeleteYou may have employee problems but at least you have tomatoes and adorable children in your life! GREG
ReplyDeleteYour employees just play with the food? Mine EAT it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
