A friend just wrote and asked for a little advice on a cafe photo shoot. I thought this topic would be helpful for a wider audience:
A friend of mine is doing an intern sort of thing at a new cafe here. She called me up the other day and said the cafe wanted some pictures taken and asked if I could do it. So I said yes. It was just a quick call to see if I could do it, and she said she would call back later with more specifics. So, I’m assuming it’s photos of the food and/or the cafe itself.
Do you have any tips for doing a better job on this kind of photography? I’m already planning to take a backup (a Canon film SLR) just in case for some random reason they want a large print of something, or in case my Nikon D40 encounters troubles. Better safe than sorry, I always said. Anyways, just wanted to ask for tips, as I really want to do a great job on this!
It all depends on what they want and expect. Let’s look at it a minute.
