We produced a shoot recently for an email marketing company here in Sacramento.
I was excited about the opportunity to work with a working model. Amos of Cast Images was a real pro, he was able to bring the feeling of this delicious doughnut to life. Garth, of G Creative and I, tried many different configurations and scenarios but this was by far the most effective. Garth is a wiz with photoshop and works so quickly. Each element of the photo has been manipulated to emphasize impact. The model's expression is used from one file, the model's hand from another and the doughnut itself is yet another shot entirely. He stitched them together for this final product.
In the process Amos had to eat close to a dozen doughnuts so I'm thankful he came hungry. He told me afterwards that he won't be eating any doughnuts in the near future.
We shot at Photo Source in Sacramento and their studio facility is top notch. They have anything you could want or need in terms of lighting equipment. The staff is always friendly and willing to help out.
