For my project I want to base it on
Food Photography. I enjoyed working on our previous Food Project and felt like
I had a better connection with this project than any other, and I know I want
to explore it further. I would like to base my final project on magazine and
bake/cook books. I am interested in the advertising side of food photography
and how it makes a huge effect on the public and how simple images can change
how they see food. I will experiment throughout my project with film and use
different techniques. For my final outcome I am planning on having eight final
images. I want to make up four Food Posters advertising different topics, two
magazine covers and two pages in a bake/cook book including the recipes. I
think that by covering all these I will be covering the main
advertising/interest points for food photography in advertising. Since
finishing my research I have decided I will be taking images of cakes, cupcakes
and other baking goods. I'm not sure yet if I will use film for some of my
final images until I experiment with it, but for now I plan to shoot my final
images in digital. My main inspiration has been a cook and photographer named
Linda Lomelino. Linda has been my main interest into Food Photography I find
her style really unique and interesting. Her images are rustic and have a dated
feel to them. I like how simple her images are but effective. She has her own
bake book, for this she has done all the photography herself. I will look at
more food photographers old a new to get more of an idea of what style I will
photograph in, whether or not I will use props etc. I think for my final images
I will make them into a recipe book somehow digitally or may get them printed
into a book. I will choose my favourite image from this project and get it
printed onto either wood, PVC, Perspex, Card or normal photographic paper and
frame it. I will probably get this done at CC imaging based in Leeds. I want to
print one of my final images on a sustainable background because this is
something I have never done and I think it will make my work look more professional.
If I have any more I wish to print I will get these done at Proam.
