We shot some brownies today – for THREE HOURS. Don’t ask. Lots of testing, lots of learning how to use our tethering, lots of melting ice cream. lol
Here are some images from one of the first shoots I’ve done ALL YEAR that I organized, shot and edited. Usually Sarah does 95% of the shooting. Today she was the most-phenom-food-assistant ever.

Umm yeah, I want those in my belly ASAP.
These look gooey to perfection!!
Wait wait! who made them?
Could we have some?
Nice brownies, Matt. I know you said ‘dont ask’ but is the reason you spent 3 hours shooting these because you had to make them first? or you couldnt help eating them? haha. I am sure it wasnt wasted because it does make it fun when you can shoot something edible!
Steven.
nice Matt
*starts shipping brownies around – brazil, pacific NW…*
@roberto – light was fairly simple. Natural light from camera-right and reflector on the other side. Occasionally I had to block off light coming from windows on the other side but mainly I left as much natural ambient bouncing around as possible.
@Chris – Sarah and I made the brownies ourselves. Then we chilled it to make the cuts flat, sliced & diced it, refrigerated it and then pulled it out yesterday to shoot. We actually made them the night before.
@Steven – it took 3 hrs because we got caught up in angles and light and “figuring out” how to make them look delish. We have been spending WAY too much time reading food blogs, food stylist sites, etc. and we’ve seen what “bad” food photography looks like. We were hoping to avoid the stage where we don’t light the front side, have poor light, make disturbing looking food, etc. We had to keep removing crumbs (blow method works well!)
As long as people want to eat them, I’m calling this a successful test run! Off to keyword.
