In my photography world, wedding and people photography is a very big part, however I do also do a lot of business and corporate photography and that work goes over to my other photography website (www.TheLemonGallery.com). On this occasion I thought I’d treat you to something a little different from my usual people posts here in the JLP blog; this one will definitely appeal to those with a sweet tooth. It’s a sneak peek from the photo shoot I did with the SUPER-LOVEY team at The Juice Smith; a wonderful smoothie and juice bar that do the most delicious cold pressed juices and make incredibly yummy organic, plant based food over in Cobham, Surrey!
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing for The Juice Smith for the past few years – yes, their website (www.TheJuiceSmith.com) is like my photography gallery! Photographing their juices, hot beverages, snacks and amazing dishes from their vegan menu is always such fun, as was the recent marketing photo shoot I did when they were in the Harrods Food Hall in Knightsbridge.
From a shoot I did with them not long ago I posted some of the photos I took of their vegan cake range on my Instagram page (@juliet_lemon) and the response, excitement and buzz the photos created made my news feed go crazy, so I thought I’d do a little blog feature about the shoot.
Yes, their cakes are as delicious as they look and the incredible news is that they are vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free…. surely that makes them fat-free too?!?!?!?!? (JOKE!)
Photographing these mouth-watering pieces of culinary artwork, capturing the colours and textures was truly such a treat! I photographed from a variety of angles and composed the cakes in different ways to ensure there was variety to the collection of shooting styles. From using my Macro lens to focus in on details through to composing the photo to have the subject off-centre ensuring dead space was left for marketing text, it was fun to get creative with such gorgeous, sweet-tooth-stimulating eye candy. Of course, what made the shoot even sweeter was that I got to munch on a couple of scrumptious pieces of cake after the shoot – a definite perk of the job!
Before I go, I got asked this loads on Instagram so will say here = yes, they do cake by the slice as well as making cakes to order so if you have any occasions (special or not) coming up that require something sweet, go to The Juice Smith! x
