Food photos

I'm still very busy with the commercial assignment for a big food company. I have several
dishes in my illustration that need to look extra tasty, so yesterday I visited a professional
food photography studio, to photograph some meals with my little paper figures next to it.
It was really interesting to watch the whole process!

The cook is busy putting an egg into the right position. It took four eggs to get a perfect
one for the pic.
At the right there's the whole set up for the tiny plate.

Are these the tools of a cook or a surgeon?!
It took us four hours to get the right pic of two sandwiches, and I didn't get lunch. X-(
(the sandwiches for the shoot were only supposed to LOOK tasty, we couldn't eat them)

Shoot!

Today I had a photoshoot for a portrait series of autobiographical comicartists.
The photographer, Marco Bakker, wanted to combine the real comicartists with
their drawn alter-egos.

Here are some quick idea sketches I made before hand.

My drawings.

'aureole'. (photo by Gert Jan Pos)

I really enjoyed this shoot. As a comicartist and illustrator, I usually work alone,
but it's great to have a chance to work with other creative professionals, who all
bring their own talents, ideas and experience into a project. :-)
