Friday 27th.. Food shoot

Two weeks ago Tony gave us a brief to bring in a food product to shoot. Because of time my shoot was postponed until the 27th. As Christmas is looming, I have decided to shoot something festive and bring in mince pies.

I have looked on a couple of image libraries as to how to shoot them and am going to try and achieve three different shots.
One will have a background of lights and berries with a drop focus centralising the mince pies. The second will be a more tight in shot, focusing on the filling in the pies where I will try to make it look as appetising as possible. The 3rd shot will consist of propping the product with icing sugar and clotted cream. This will be the last one, as it will melt quickly under the lights.

I have collected together a variety of props including plates, cutlery, ribbons, tablecloths, fabrics and lights, and will construct the set from scratch.
I feel well prepared for this shoot and am really looking forward to it, as I do not often get to soot food produce in my current job.
