Ok gang, let 'er rip! We are finished with the primary photography today and I would love to hear your feedback. If anyone has any questions as to how the process went please don't hesitate to ask.
Our "theme" at our inn is simple and hearty country cooking....sort of like we'll never make you eat something you can't pronounce. We get a lot of first timers and many are nervous about what to expect for breakfast so we wanted to make it very clear. These photos are strictly for the food, we have a different photographer who does great room photos and we show the overall dining space in different photos.
My very favorite part of the entire process? All of us sitting down to eat the props when we were finished! I was prepared with hairspray, glycerin, etc. but these foods were not altered at ALL...we prepared several sample breakfasts just like we would for our guests, and the photographer used lighting to heighten different aspects...it was really amazing to watch him work. We got to help a lot with the "staging" and I enjoyed that, it was just a matter of using what we had on hand. It was a long day but well worth the effort. Thanks for your feedback.
