FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY TASK !

Contemporary photographers


Davin munns is an award winning London based food and drink photographer. After completing foundation at Cat Hill, David went on to study photography at Bournemouth and Poole college of art and design. Shoreditch became his work place after returning to London in 1989, assisting a food and drink photographer, quickly graduating from 2nd assistant to shooting for his own clients .David’s first job was shooting Keith Floyd for a Kingsmill commercial. David set up his own studio in Clerkenwell in 1996 and has worked in the area ever since. In my opinion his pictures are very precise and well organised. On the pictures you can see that he has an eye for this. The composition of the pictures is well thought off and the colors are chosen to match the pictures. His pictures are very soft. And when looking at them is like u wanna take the product from the picture and eat it. The lightening and the conditions are very thought off. In some pictures I can see that he is using natural light, and in others he is using studio light (artificial).

Michael Michaels is a very know London food photographer. He had studied at the Salisbury Art College. This place brought him up to speed with the technicalities of the camera and gave me an understanding of lighting. He has worked for many different company's and advertising agencys. editorial to advertising, from start up to blue chip. The bigger names being clients such as Uncle Bens, Walls, Heinz, Perfect Pizza, Tesco, Sainsburys, M & S, Harrods and many more. Some nationally and some internationally. For him food photography is about capturing the essence of appetite appeal. To have someone look at a good food shot and feel their senses working immediately. Doing this in its simplest form, with minimal complication is what I aim to achieve. Michael from what I can see in his pictures usually uses a deep depth of field to give all his picture this interesting look and for people looking at the picture focus on the point that he wants us to. He uses natural light and artificial light in his pictures. He uses great colours and matches them together his composition is well thought of as.
