The Shoot!

Had an truly interesting day on Saturday. Started at 7am in the prep kitchen finishing off bits and pieces, purees etc for the pictures. Then I sped over to Clapton and met Sam in his studio.

We set up and got started, I laid out my wares... My palette so to speak.
Our initial idea changed and morphed and we had to really push to make the first images work. I had my restaurant head on rather than my image head. It took us a while to get there but it was worth it and looked amazing.

We did this cured salmon with apple blossom, campari sauce/ jelly and pea salad, totally different from what I'd thought in my last post.
The shot worked a treat and we did a few options and breathed a huge sigh....

The second shot was along the same lines as we planned... We were using fruit and veg crisps to make a sort of stack, any way we changed this slightly and explosively... nothing more I can say yet.... It looks killer... love the final image...

The crisps and my foot looked quite cool so here s a snap....
In short a truly educational day from my point of view. So much detail to capture, such a methodical and delicate process... I want more....
