When did you decide to become a photographer? Can you name a moment in time when it clicked in your mind and you realized that photography was more than a hobby, but a passion?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
I think I knew I wanted to be a photographer back in the second grade. There was something called \u201cfinding your orbit\u201d and that was one of the careers I selected. To be honest with you I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve really ever had a passion for photography. It\u2019s been sort of my job. When I go on vacation I usually don\u2019t take my camera with me. I\u2019ll take shots of my kids or I\u2019ll take my point and shoot. I think I\u2019m a little unusual like that, where it\u2019s really not my passion.<\/p>\n

What is your passion if you don\u2019t mind us asking?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
My motorcycles are my passion. I have hobbies. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I get into it [photography]. You have to be somewhat driven to be good at anything. It\u2019s not the kind of thing that drives me. I know some photographers that it\u2019s all they think about and that\u2019s all they do. That\u2019s not all I think about think about or all I do. I like to go hunting. My motorcycles are important to me.
\nI\u2019m actually playing around with video right now it\u2019s what\u2019s taking up my spare time thoughts. I\u2019m kind of moving in that direction. Don\u2019t get me wrong. I really love photography, but it\u2019s not what drives me.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-56.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
In terms of photographic genres, what made you pursue food photography?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
It sort of matched up with a skill-set of mine. I knew when I was going to school, I went to the Art Institute of Pittsburg, I realized that I was drawn to meticulous lighting. Product photography was something I was interested in. Making sure everything was separated from everything and making sure you could see the shape really well, I was really into that. Food photography was just like a natural progression.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I actually hate product photography now.I used to work at a catalogue house in Chicago, so maybe I OD\u2019ed on it there, but catalogue photography is always based on \u201cwell how many shots will you get done today\u201d and you never really get to do it as well as you want to, because there is always a timeline and always a time schedule involved.
\nAnd it\u2019s one of those things where I really started to hate product photography, but it seems like for food photography it\u2019s more of an event, we have four shots to do today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You never hear that in product photography. It\u2019s always like how many can you bang out today to make money. Where food photography is much more time consuming and that time that is spent, the food stylist plays for it a long time, while that food stylist is playing I\u2019m playing. So I sort of get more time to refine the shot and that\u2019s what I really enjoy. To answer your question my skillset sort of dovetails right into food photography.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/4-49.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
When you dive into your food photography, what influences how you take your shots, the inspiration behind each shot is it more directed by a creative director or art director, or do you have a little more leeway on how you style the food and take photographs of the food?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
There are basically two sub genres of food photography. There\u2019s editorial food photography and advertising food photography. And the difference is in editorial food photography you are trying to sell magazines; it\u2019s more about making a pretty picture. Where advertising food photography you are trying to sell that \u201cblank\u201d \u2013 whatever it is in front of your camera, you\u2019re trying to sell that.
\nSo it\u2019s a different type of photography and I am the advertising type.
\nIt\u2019s a real team. For the kind of work I do, usually the art director is there, there\u2019s a food stylist, the food stylist has an assistant, and sometimes we have another kind of stylist that is kind of a food stylist assistant, but she sort of works the set to some degree.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A lot of times the art director\u2019s client shows up to the shoot. So it\u2019s a real team work type of thing, if you are a prima donna you won\u2019t last really long in this career, because you have to please all those other people to some extent. You can be a prima donna and state \u201cwe\u2019re going to do it my way\u201d and you\u2019ll find that you won\u2019t have any clients tomorrow.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5-40.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
In food photography, the photographer really never touches the food. He\u2019s more in charge of the lighting and the angle, which is a lot of times dictated by the art director. A lot of times the client comes in with a layout. You are there to make that drawing into a photograph as much as possible. That\u2019s not all the time; the more fun jobs actually give you a little more leeway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They come in with a rectangle. They know the sign they have to do is X by Y, so you have a dimension that you need to create a pretty picture in and you have to sell that \u201csteak\u201d inside that 6 by 9 or whatever size dimension you are trying to fill. There\u2019s a lot of creativity there and it\u2019s not always dictated by the client and there\u2019s always a lot of decisions to be made along the way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is a lot of creativity involved that process, it\u2019s not like \u201coh ok what are we going to shoot today\u201d a lot of it is determined already.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/6-38.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
What type of camera do you shoot with?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
I use an Arca Swiss 6 by 9 view camera. Some people would call that large format some people would call it a medium format. But it\u2019s a view camera with a digital back on it. I also shoot 35mm occasionally probably three percent of the time for food. I have a Nikon D800, D700, D3 and I have a tilt shift lens that really works out well for food photography.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most of the time I use the Arca Swiss view camera with Schneider lenses, which all of my lenses are really old. As a matter of fact, 3 or 4 of them are out for repair for shutter damage. It\u2019s an interesting mix because it\u2019s old technology with new technology. You have the view camera which is technology from the 1800s with a modern day digital back on it \u2013 you get the tilt and swing and all the control of the view camera with a 112mb file I get out of it.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/7-31.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
Continuing down the equipment train of thought, what is your favorite light modifier and why would you consider that your favorite?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
Well it\u2019s not a really a light modifier. My favorite light is a Fresnel spot. It\u2019s my signature light and it makes my photography what it is. It\u2019s a strobe (I shoot flash) I call it my \u201cbig ten inch\u201d, they don\u2019t even make them anymore. It\u2019s a 10\u2019\u2019 Fresnel spot by Norman and there are other companies that make similar products.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Fresnel spot, what\u2019s nice about that is not so much its focusing ability, but what it does is it projects a light that is pretty crisp, the shadow is a crisp shadow, it\u2019s like using a bare bulb, but the light doesn\u2019t bounce around the whole studio. It just kind of goes where I want it to go and what I like about that is I can use mirrors to reflect light back where I want it, but because the shadow is so crisp, I can get very accurate with those mirrors, and I can put light pretty much anywhere I want it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You have the main light casting shadow, but I can kick light back from that reflection, back into the product. It\u2019s sort of my signature and it\u2019s what I base my style on.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/8-30.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
How important in your workflow is post production do you do your own post production or do you have a retoucher that helps in that part of the process?<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n
I know a lot of photographers are really into post production. There\u2019s another photographer I know and I respect him, I think he\u2019s a very good photography, and somehow I got this email or I saw somewhere online where he was giving a webinar (and one of the things you have to realize about photographers is \u2013 I don\u2019t know what other people do and they don\u2019t know what I do specifically, because it\u2019s not like \u201chey come over to my studio and steal my ideas\u201d it just doesn\u2019t happen like that), but this guy was giving a seminar.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always liked his work, I met this guy a long time ago, and we actually went to a workshop together, a workshop on creativity. I met this guy and it was even before we were both into food photography. We\u2019ve kept in touch a little a bit, anyways he gave this webinar and I\u2019ve always liked his work and he does some nice stuff, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s extraordinary, but he does some really nice stuff and he\u2019s very successful. He has, from what I hear, got a gorgeous studio, and he has a team of people that he works with.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the people he works with is a retoucher and they are on staff and that\u2019s unheard of in my market in Pittsburg- there are just not staffs for photographers. For myself I hire a freelance assistant when I need them. For most food jobs I hire a freelance assistant and there\u2019s a food stylist. Usually food stylists are not staff people and they are usually brought in. So this photographer has a full-time assistant and full-time retoucher and I knew that ahead of time.
\nWhen I saw his webinar he was nice enough to show the before and after stuff and it just blew me away \u2013 Here\u2019s some really really mediocre photography in my opinion, but his retoucher was able to snazz it up to a point where it looked really really good.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/9-26.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″] <\/p>\n But, I\u2019ve really gotten a lot better and you just need a few techniques that really make a difference. With post production I don\u2019t spend a whole lot time. I like to actually give a disc to the client as they are walking out the door. So between shots I\u2019ll do a little compositing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the techniques you use in food photography Photoshop wise \u2013 let\u2019s say you were shooting something with whip cream on top, that whip cream tends to burn out exposure wise, it\u2019s either that or just the opposite, where you have really dark shadows. So what you do is you take two different exposures and just do a real quick mask. You don\u2019t want to do a hard selection you just do a layer mask. \u2013 so that kind of work I do all the time, but I\u2019ll do that in-between shots and it doesn\u2019t take very long. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/10-25.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n It\u2019s not like I have a problem with creativity \u2013 a lot of times photographers won\u2019t want to give that away. That creative part of it in the retouching, but my stuff really doesn\u2019t need very much retouching. Retouching is not that big of an issue to me.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n That\u2019s what I try to do, but the farther you go along you can spend twenty minutes doing it in camera or you can spend two seconds doing it in post. You get to a point where you just say this is a better use of my time and the client\u2019s money. A lot of clients of mine have retouchers on staff.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Question ??” module_class=”in_question” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/11-22.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Answer” module_class=”in_answer” _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n One of the things I would say to them even if they are in a big market like New York, you cannot start off as a food photographer. You have to be a commercial photographer first. There are a lot of skills that transfer to food photography that you get in commercial photography \u2013 and that\u2019s a good reason. [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/12-19.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″] <\/p>\n Photography is very tough and it\u2019s getting tougher all the time. Technology is making it easier for everybody. It\u2019s just harder to be a professional. The thing about food photography is that the market is relatively small. There aren\u2019t that many clients for food photography, it\u2019s relative of course. If you decide \u201cI\u2019m going to be a food photographer\u201d you\u2019re going to have a hard time finding enough clients to let you survive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What I would recommend to people who want to be food photographers is to become a commercial photographer. Take pretty much any work you can and you\u2019ll be building your skills and you\u2019ll be making contacts at the agencies. Eventually you go from a commercial photographer into a specialty. But, you have to have that base, because you have to afford the equipment you have to afford the space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All that takes money and the only way you are going to get that money is to work and if you work as a commercial photographer you can kill two birds with one stone \u2013 you can get yourself better and you can get money at the same time. And that money will allow you to get everything you need equipment wise and you sort of move into that area.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/13-18.jpg” alt=”13″ show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″] <\/p>\n There\u2019s a woman I work with, she\u2019s a photo assistant for me, and she has a job at a newspaper\/local magazine, she wants to be a food photographer and this is a great way to do it. She\u2019s doing more than food photography (she\u2019s doing all kinds of photography) but eventually that\u2019s what she wants to do. But you just can\u2019t put a shingle out and say \u201chey I\u2019m a food photographer\u201d, because you will starve, I guarantee it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I might be wrong, but if I had a $1000 I would bet it.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/14-15.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n The first thing you have to realize is I\u2019m not a super artist (I know that) there are those 1 percents out there that just have everything, they understand what\u2019s going on, they have an amazing eye, they figured out lighting, they\u2019re charismatic with clients, they are going to be successful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the advice I just gave, probably doesn\u2019t apply to them. But, if you are relatively normal then you are going to have to work at it. You are going to have to be around in the business long enough to go where you want to go. But, you just can\u2019t say \u201cI\u2019m going to be a food photographer\u201d, because there aren\u2019t enough food photography clients out there. You have to shoot machines, you have to shoot products, you have to shoot headshots, and you have to shoot anything on the commercial side.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And if you want to shoot weddings that\u2019s cool too, that\u2019s getting more and more acceptable in the industry. It used to be you were one of two things either commercial or retail (weddings, portraits, etc..) even that distinction has gone away a bit now. My advice is shoot anything you can, make as much money as you can, and if you still want to be a food photographer, go in that direction later.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/15-10.jpg” alt=”Professional Food Photographer” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″]<\/p>\n And another thing that\u2019s hard to admit. If you are a photographer, there aren\u2019t many photographers that could have gone to MIT if they weren\u2019t a photographer. The IQ of a normal photographer including myself is not the same as a doctor. That\u2019s a gross generalization, but in general that\u2019s true. It\u2019s a profession for a more common man.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The one percenters that I mentioned, they just excel because they have their stuff together. For a normal person that wants to have a fun job, I don\u2019t know how I got so lucky, but this profession is amazing! People spend and pay me thousands of dollars to take pictures \u2013 is that bizarre or what? It\u2019s such a great career and you just have to make a couple of right decisions. The decision that I\u2019m talking about is don\u2019t be a food photographer the first day of photography school.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.7″] \nMichael’s Portfolio<\/a> Professional Food Photographer, Michael Ray My Name is Michael Ray There are basically two sub genres of food photography.

We look forward to seeing more of his mouth watering works. Connect with and find more of Michael’s works here:<\/h3>\n
