Over the last couple of weeks I have been working two and three days down at Mike Chan Design photographing a wide variety of cookware from Keilen Llt. They distribute a wide variety of pots , pans and utensils under several brand names including Italian Villa, Mexican Fiesta and Joyce Chen.
The process of creating a cover shot for some of the cookware was challenging. Mike would prepare the food in a makeshift kitchen in a corner of his office while I set up the background and atmosphere which consisted of food items themed around the product.
Photo 1 shows some of the hundreds of items photographed either for a product cover or catalog.
Photo 2 shows a finished shot with artwork as is would appear on the store shelf.
Photo 3 shows the finished shot of the fajita platter.
Photo 4 is the setup with a steel pan as the place holder. The background are vinyl floor tiles.
