When I first got the idea about shooting with food, I wanted to use honey. I imagined dark shadows, and moody images with golden honey tones.
Then I thought about dripping champagne bubbles flowing down the body… and my mind just started wandering from there.
Before I knew it, I was thinking of ALL things food. Fruit, candy, sprinkles, a big juicy burger! I started a list and just wrote down all the things I thought would photograph well, be sexy or funny (or both), and fun to work with.
You know the saying, “Two heads are better than one.”
Several of the amazing women I worked with for these sessions, had come up with some pretty awesome ideas of their own and we collaborated to create some very hot imagery!
Major fun and laughs ensued, messes were made, and great photographs were taken!
Here are some shots taken, along with some fun facts and behind-the-scenes perspective as you look through them:
The first thing I learned about the honey was that this might be a two person job. If I want the honey to drip down the chest or body part properly, while getting the posing I am trying to achieve, I am going to need assistance with the application so I can get the shot and the woman posing can be where she needs to be.
Lollipop wasn’t even on my list, but I was standing in line at the drug store and there they were! I’m going to have to say this one’s a winner when it comes to a sexy and playful prop! The red color really popped and you could see how you can get fun and flirty images as well as capturing some sexy sultry ones too!
Oh my goodness, I cannot go without mentioning or sharing this session! The sexy burrito!!
I won’t go into much detail about how the idea came about, but I will tell you that I will never look at a burrito so innocently again!
She made this the sexiest burrito I have ever seen and I must say, it was a blast to photograph, and show her and her husband! I bet that’s his favorite food now!
Winter time brings fresh citrus and winter berries! I went for a more ‘portrait’ and still image style look for these images.
And now we have the burger……. the sexy sin burger!
The “Carl’s Jr. eat your heart out” burger!
You would be surprised to learn the thought and care that goes into dressing a hamburger to drip the way you want it, especially after getting it delivered to the studio door by a food delivery service!
Much consideration went into selecting the right place, and we chose Superburger from Santa Rosa – a great choice!
These sessions were all so much fun, all of the ladies had such a great time, and the results were HOT! I’ve got a festive way to end this post, too!
Because it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t end it with some sprinkles on top, am I right!?
