Kyle Dreier Photography http://www.dreier.com/blog Blog: What's happening in front of and behind my lens. Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:10:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 en Food Revamp … http://www.dreier.com/blog/food-revamp/ http://www.dreier.com/blog/food-revamp/#comments Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:06:14 +0000 Kyle Dreier http://www.dreier.com/blog/food-revamp/ Well, I’m in the process of revamping my site … one section at a time. I’ve just completed the food photography section. While many of the images are the same as the previous version you will notice I’ve increased the sizes … the bigger the image the better. I’ve also changed the groupings to be more reflective of the job/project.

Food Photography

Stay tuned as I work through the remaining sections (an possibly a new section) over the coming weeks.

It also helps when this person with such a prestigious music catalog is also a long time friend. Tony will admit that he’d much rather be in a room with a pen and yellow pad working out the lyrics for the next hot Christian pop group than be the subject in front of a camera.

Tony did great in front of the camera but his gift is definitely in song writing.

Tug McGraw was Tim McGraw’s father who died of a brain tumor.

We started out the day for the Nashville Country Music Marathon with a chili rain. That didn’t dampen the commitment of these folks to run for a great cause.

Here are a few of the shots from the day. The complete set can be see here: Nashville Country Music Marathon

I suppose that get that naturally.

So, I thought I’d take their love of cars (and mine, too) and my passion for photography and find where the two converge.

The backdrop for this was shot during the Fall here in Franklin, TN. The colors are incredible that time of year.

The car is a slightly worn/loved Maisto … a Hot Wheel wannabe … from their collection.

Lighting was a little tricky. I can’t imagine lighting a full-sized car.

The process served me well, but paying work and other responsibilities has to trump the exercise.

Here, already a month later, I am publicly confessing or announcing that “Photo a Day” will now be “Photo Whenever I Can Squeeze It In” going forward.

For that who may be curious, I’m currently working to further my Food Portfolio. I will keep you posted on my progress.

While I didn’t actually shoot this today, I did process it today. This is from my Friday shoot with Aux Choux. I love the imperfections of this photo as I was shooting hand-held through a glass in the display case.

I shot a number of specialty desserts for Aux Choux, a dessert café in Franklin, TN. Crystal is a fine dessert maker and super to work with. Here is one of the many fun shots from the shoot.

Look for more shots from this shoot in a later blog post.
