I think one thing I walked away with was the need for deeper focus when the vegetables are involved. Really need more/larger light source for that as I wanted to keep the ISO under 1250 (ideally around 500-800 or less)
This would be an area where I would start exploring what flash or strobes could do for me. Also, the macro shot of the handle, not sure why I added that. It doesn't really convey anything. |
And I think I need to chop the first cut tomato shot.

not a bad start Dave! I really like the composition, as well as the DOF on the shot with the peppers. The colors really grab you on this one.
Ive been wanting to try my hand at something like this for a while. I have a shot in mind that would look awesome in my office, it would be a crop of one of our newer control boards which has the company logo embossed on it. I just dont have the lighting, and free money to put into lights just because |
Thanks...luckily I was able to borrow the lights from a friend.

yeah, the dark texture of the wood really makes the food stand out too

In the first one the background is too busy and detracts from the nice shot of the knife. The first one with the peppers needs balanced dof on the peppers as does the first one with the lemons and lime. The rest of them look pretty good to my eyes, overall nice for your first attempt.

I think backgrounds are very important in product shots. If the background doesn't have anything to do directly with the product it shouldn't be in the shot. That's why the first pic here is distracting. Even the stove grids are borderline out of place. Even though cutting and chopping is a cooking event the act of using the knife is not usually done on a stove. The block and produce are outstanding examples of cohesive backgrounding.
just mho. :) Beautiful pics though. |

I agree that the color of the cutting board looks like a perfect "background" for the food and knife.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but would a cutting board without the knife marks be better? I might just be pixel peeping but some of the cutting lines kinda stand out. But again like 2001AudiS4 said, some might view the cutting lines as a neat addition. |

Look good to me, but I'm no advertisement executive.
I seem to remember Dan Martin (who I haven't seen on here in forever), doing some product photography. Maybe he'd be someone good to contact |
The macro shots are awesome, the closeup of the blade made me :what:
And as you already pointed out, with the veggies involved, more DOF :) Looks like you're off to a good start :thumbsup: |
I re-cropped and re-processed the first image in hopes of making it less distracting
