Interior Test

Fanciful interior and food shot from the same set.

This is a slightly different post in that it combines food and interior shooting and is about my work with my very talented friend and prop stylist Shannon Thompson. We have worked together on many assignments from small clients like Heart to Heart gifts to large ones like Jacuzzi Bathtubs. This is from a test shoot we did together at her house.

Shannon and I are working on several shots based around her small dining room, vintage mid century furniture, beautiful patterned fabric and a flowerless chocolate cake from Whole Foods. The theme/inspiration for me is "Scandinavian winter chic".

Here is an early set up shot.

Now Shannon has two of the chairs covered, the lamp is hung and the white washed pine flooring I created is in place. We still have to work out the final propping, get the last curtain hung and the third chair covered.

Almost there.....

Here's the final interior set shot.

And here's the final food shot. This cake is really tasty and Whole Foods almost always has them.
