Super Bowl 53 ATL food photo shoot!

Gary McLoughlin February 2, 2019

So Superbowl 53 is in our hometown of Atlanta, and the buzz is on! The sun is shining, the traffic is ridiculous (what’s new??) air-force jets are flying overhead and it’s time once again for all that party food…

Every year Judith brings something fun and creative to our Superbowl party, and this year I thought it would be fun to photograph it- so here we are!

Party food can be a bit of a challenge to photograph as it tends to be ‘bitty’. All bite size things without sauce or presence, so, as a photographer I realize it’s all about the set up and the accessories. So, for this shoot, I’ve arranged everything on one of my favorite whitewood boards and placed lots of stuff around the setting to bring interest and fill up the space. I even decided on getting one of my son’s old football helmets into the shot for fun!

Party food like this looks best with strong lighting, as the party setting will inevitably have, so I have both studio lights full on either side of the set and here we go…

Results below!

Back to shooting food...

Gary McLoughlin January 17, 2018

It's been a while, but I'm back to shooting food again as our new book is beginning to loom on the horizon, and this time around I feel as if I have grown and changed quite a bit in my preferences for lighting and setting the scene for the food shot...I'm really liking mood lighting from one source for example, instead of lots of light from studio lights.

Really enjoying this, and I'll blog about it as our book progresses...

This shot is of an old Irish favorite that we want to feature in the opening chapter - Bacon & Cabbage. Doesn't get more Irish than this...

Happy 4th!

Gary McLoughlin July 4, 2015

After almost twenty years living and working in the United States we are honored to celebrate her birthday every year. As immigrants, we have worked hard and built a life here - in short the American dream.  

So, enjoy the fireworks, and dream on...and perhaps also enjoy some of this incredible 'Independence day' pavlova my wife made specially for the day...

check out the recipe on her latest food blog- link here:
