Working With Editorial Text

Sometimes a shot will receive a text overlay on the photograph rather than in a separate section. This creates more of a challenge when shooting as the food has to be situated accurately before it spoils. The publishers will send over the text example which I then overlay onto the live shot in Capture One Pro software. We then have to style the food around the copy. Despite this being a bit more rigid in terms of creative freedom, I am actually really enjoying photographing food in this way. The shots below were taken for a book project and a magazine.

Cawston Press juices

Cawston Press' cocktail and mocktail shoot really got me in the mood for sipping summer cocktails in a sunny english garden. The flavours of their apple juices and sparkling juices are really zingy and such delicious easy mixers. The mixologist created a very punchy range of drinks that were hard to keep my hands off, the bourbon cocktail being a firm favourite.
