Family Lifestyle – A Chinese Dinner

ScottJarvie — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:50:13 +0000

Yes this was a compilation of a few families and random individuals… but it’s a great example of the awesome pictures that can be had during something as common as a dinner.

I focused a lot on the great food with how diverse the ingredients were and how bright the colors were. But I’ll also add some pictures of the people.
To see the full gallery go here.

Of course these would probably be great for some sort of cooking blog or book.

If you’re a cook and planning a large meal like this doesn’t hurt to ask to see if I have the time to come and document the event, it can be fun at times and I wouldn’t mind the good meal. Specially the meals that will be photogenic.

These are not set up… these are not stock shoots. These were just taking in the action and the layout as it was.

Oh and of course the Jarvie Window found it’s way to the meal, providing a unique look at the food as well as the people.

Shoot, Eat & Edit

The 4th of March JarvieU is putting on the tastiest event yet.

The Low-Down

We’re inviting a mixture of 2 groups.

Photographers and Food bloggers/Chefs

We’ll be learning how to take better pictures of food.

- Helping the photographers to get better at this skill and learn some new tricks.

- Helping the food bloggers learn how to take better pictures of their own food for their blogs and other websites.

Then we eat the food. (I’m pretty excited about this part of course)

Because the process isn’t done when you snap the picture we’ll take it one step farther. We’ll show everyone some editing using lightroom.

Just some quick simple ways to make them look better. (If they haven’t used lightroom before they should come to a quick pre-class)

When Where

The class will be at 2016 N Nuttall Dr, Lehi

Tuesday, March 4th 6:30pm

People Coming

5-6 Chefs/Foodies (Invites)

5-6 Instructors (Invites)

5-6 Student/Interns from JarvieU (Invites)

5-6 Other Photographers (Open)

How to take part

Those extra people who might want to come will be asked to donate to the food and props fund.

Let me know if you’re interested we will figure out the cost and try to figure out who is able.

For the rest of you we’re thinking of live broadcasting much of the event online.

Let me know how much interest there is

I’m pretty sure we’ll raffle/give-away one spot. Just for the fun of it.

Who to expect

There is a Food Photography Clinic being put on by my good friends Rich Legg and Nicole Young

It’s Thursday at the SLC library 6:30 – 8pm

Here’s the post with more info

I was looking through some pictures to perhaps add to their discussion.
I know my style of food pictures is probably going to be different. Less diliberate more consequential of where I am at. Less product orientated and more to catch memories.

But I thought I’d share some favorites over the years.

Though most of my stuff comes from wedding gigs. This one was taken as I was sitting down for a meal in Italy.
Just kinda took a picture of what was happening

Wedding pictures are mainly done to preserve memories. Remember that awesome cheesecake we had at our wedding?
Well now this is perhaps the only real memory left… my picture.

This was a special request by the cake maker to make sure I got lots of good pictures of their wedding cake at this wedding.
Perhaps to use it in future advertising … to show future brides.

Many people look at wedding detail pictures so they can have ideas as to what they should do at their own wedding.

Here’s a few non-wedding food pictures I took in a Spanish (Barcelona) market back in 06′
