Street Food Photography with David Loftus – Backgrounds


we thought we’d take you with us out to
the studio into the local market and
just going to show you really what you
can do in a very small space of time out
in the big wide world
another nice fitting shot do you want to
choose ones we can eat and shoot now I’m
gonna take a little shot of this little
mound here just so special your favor
can you stand behind them just to give
the black background that’s great so
you’re not just a background to me I do
apologize it’s funny it’s cuz it’s quite
dark under here and there’s quite a lot
of brightness in the background it was a
bit flurry
do you mind if ask out of the shot on a
frame with your little rail red velvet
cookie
and he using camera Pascal I think I’ve
got some nice edits after Pascal I have
very different tastes in our food
I think shooting-wise it’s got to be
fresh cherry and white chocolate we’re
gonna have two little custard tarts so
we bought our little goodies things to
do is treat them with delicacy you know
they are so delicate aren’t they
Pascal’s got the most amazing blue nail
varnish so I thought it would just be
really nice to have her hands holding
the tart like this actually your hands
have to be quite natural that’s it
otherwise they funny with hands they can
look quite cool like so just hold it as
naturally as possible and just up a
little bit that’s it your little hands
are just making it look so delicate and
sweet and
so I’m using a macro lens it’s a 50
millimeter macro lens you can use it for
a portrait so I can get hello or you can
use it for up close up and the thing is
you can go so close like ah that’s
beautiful you see sometimes when you see
something either you just think it’s so
nice to go back to basics and just have
your phone it’s almost too good but I
will be one quick and I’m gonna shoot in
the same way as you from overhead just
to get all those lovely patterns of
custody Numis let’s do a little pile oh
that’s a beauty isn’t it so actually
that pay for this rather peaceful as
well isn’t that and I think that would
be a really nice do you think all that
together I mean you’re thinking what
would make a great food photo I think
that looks lovely doesn’t it you know
you could you could put a whole
portfolio together in somewhere like
white cross market without even you know
breaking into a sweat and it’s taken us
work two minutes to buy it three minutes
to shoot it take you two minutes to eat
it food as it really is
