Work Work Work – No Play…

At Work


I’m here! I’m here!

Sorry guys I have not been around long enough to update this page in the last few days. I am held hostage by work – a week long magazine photo shoot. Prepping, cooking, styling, shooting….which is made sweeter only by the fact that these recipes are really tasty (it’s always a gamble to decipher someone’s else recipe development) and I have Taylor to help me out.

I am hoping to be able to post about the delicious crumbles we have been eating by tomorrow.

Thanks for email and asking if everything was alright. You guys are awesome…

It's a good thing to be so busy – you are a woman in high demand! I love the first photo, with the selection of napkins, each tried and discarded to the side.


Helene July 22, 2010 um 2:33 pm

Dara: actually they each are part of the color palette I am supposed to be using so I keep samples to my left as a way to keep the colors in mind as I set up and shoot. Less to think about – it's right there under my nose 🙂

From one who is no longer being "held hostage by work," just wanted to say hello! It's been a very long year. The good thing is your work is your passion. How cool is that? 🙂 Love the production shots.

Thanks for showing us how you do photography.
I've always wondered how to solve the shadow prob and yeah,I knew about using a white board, but how, and you showed me. Thanks!!!


Ali July 27, 2010 um 2:35 pm

Hi. Can you tell us what kind of tripod you use? Thanks!


Helene July 27, 2010 um 2:37 pm

Ali: it's a 30 year old Slik tripod. Not kidding.

awesome, i love this set up. i used to use those construction things too (what are they called? horses or something? dunno) but then the construction guys came and took them away! i thought they came with the house 😛

don't call this work! a wise man said that if you find the job you love then you will never have to work another day in your life 🙂

im going to be doing a recipe and food shoot for a women's running magazine here in brazil, it's slightly difficult though, there is such a huge language barrier for me. it's like living life without details. i didn't have that problem in france because i went already speaking the language…oh i wish brazil had been colonized by the french 😛


Erik August 16, 2010 um 8:15 pm

Thanks for some insight into your photo setup. Your photography is so beautiful, I would visit your blog for that alone. Unfortunately for me, the food is just as amazing. I look forward to every new post.

Nice to see the actual photography scene. I hope to read more about how you photograph your awesome pictures!!!
