'In the Kitchen' Photo Shoot
(Alyssa chatting on the phone while cooking dinner.)
I spent yesterday morning shooting for an 'In the Kitchen' stock photo series that I am working on. Our location was a local company's kitchen/cooking training facility. In addition to a large very nice residential type kitchen, the room has 48 theater style seats. This gave me plenty of room for my equipment and props.

I used two softboxes (20x30" & 30x60") for the strong side lighting. Fill light was provided by a single monolight firing directly into a 60x84" piece of ripstock nylon. I prefer fairly strong directional lighting for this type of shoot.
My models Evelyn, Donna, Alicia & Alyssa all were extremely patient and did a great job. They were a lot of fun to work with and offered plenty of expertise for 'keeping it real' when it came to setting up kitchen scenes.

My pre-Christmas activity is now to edit and upload the considerable amount of images to my iStockphoto portfolio.

I'm a local photographer just getting into the biz (there is an abundance of weddings around here). I stumbled across your blog (listed as one of the best photography blogs on the web and I can see why) in my meanderings through the web and think the information you provide is great. I love your shots and have learned much from the descriptions of your lighting set ups and your camera settings. Thanks so much. I hope to attend a class or shoot of yours sometime.
