Potato Shoot & Fresh Direct Reflective Blog

It was awesome to experiment with two types of lighting and backgrounds when it came to shooting vegetables.  Taking the photographs for the book cover was interesting.  I was not expecting the results I got when I initially first started taking photos.  I thought they were going to be boring looking, but when I was done editing the photos and adding text, I could see the photo as a book cover.  It was challenging to get the potatoes to stay upright so we had to take the photos quickly before they fell over.

The Fresh Direct photos looked clean and bright.  The vegetables looked great under that lighting.  My group used water droplets to sprinkle onto the vegetables so they looked more interesting.  I liked that it was a real-world client and I tried hard to mimic the look that Fresh Direct represents in their advertising.  I know now that they probably wouldn’t use a potato sideways in an ad, but at the time I thought it looked visually different yet still usable.
