I love the way we captured the natural splashes of the water and the bonus leaf of the apple.

This is from a series of images we produced for Hill's Pet Nutrition of raw items being prepared in a kitchen. The focus on these images was to show fresh produce being carefully prepared by hand. 

For the shoot we hired hand models, a food stylist and we went though a careful process to find the perfect kitchen locations to act as backdrop for the food prep. This was the more artisanal, rustic kitchen.

For lighting we used Profoto D2400 watt packs and placed a pack outside of the kitchen and one inside. By using Profoto Telezoom reflectors outside we were able to create daylight flooding through the window, which we then counter balanced with the careful use of multiple softboxes inside the room. All the photos were captured with a Phase One DF+ body and an IQ260 back for incredible detail in the images.

Cranberries are always a tricky item to find for shoots as their season is relatively short. Sometimes you'll order whole cranberry bushes from the farm's green house to make sure you have something for the shoot. I love the hint of boxes and bushes of extra cranberries in the foreground.

Fresh, delicious corn. I loved how we juxtaposed the rustic kitchen whole corn with the nuggets of corn in the white kitchen, the difference was to promote two different product lines.
