The folks over at Cameron Foggo Designs contacted us a while back to create some images of their new line. Immediately after seeing their pieces, I got excited. Modern, yet still retaining a sense of comfort and all I could do is imagine my house filled with these pieces. We wanted to create some directional light to show the shapes and let shadows play to give a sense of morning light peaking through the window. Really happy with how these came out and what a fantastic team to work with. It’s always so good to work with a team when there’s a sense of collaboration and a complete lack of ego. The best work always comes out of these situations. Trusting the process and knowing that bright minds are in the room just makes the best shoots.

Recent Work: Madame Roselle Vietnamese Aperitif
In my former life I worked behind bars, in cellars and in kitchens so it’s no surprise I love shooting food and beverage images. Also, with that time in the F&B industry I got to eat and drink some of the best in the world. This exploration carried on in F&B photography, but runs the gamut from the phenomenal to the maybe not so much. This one is absolutely delicious.
Read MoreA Study in Focal Lengths with Product Photography: Which one yields the best results?
I’ve been mostly shooting small objects recently and 9 times out of 10, I’m using my Sony 90mm 2.8 macro. Incredibly sharp, I can get up close and personal to capture all those fantastic little details in product and food photography. When shooting bigger objects, I have a bit more leeway in my choice in focal lengths. Depending on the style I’m going after, I can opt to shoot super wide for a more editorial or advertising feel or I can shoot with a longer lens for catalogue images. It’s not really a matter of what’s right or wrong, but it is rather interesting to see the effects of different focal lengths in these types of shoots. I shot this super slick chair with 4 different lenses in 4 different focal lengths - Zeiss Batis 18mm, Sony 35mm, Sony/Zeiss 55mm and Zeiss Batis 85mm. All amazing lenses, so optics weren’t much of a variable, and I shot them all at f/16 to make sure the chair was sharp from front to back.
