With pancake day coming up I wanted to photograph a stack of them for todays shoot. My lighting set up was pretty simple. I set up and Elincrom reflecting of the white board while the natural light filled in the rest. But it looked better without the elincrom so it was just the natural light through the window and the white board to put some light on the other side.
I thought I would try the trick with the cottonwood balls microwaved in hot water to create steam behind the food. I had a go but the steam didn't last long and I didn't want to keep running into the other studio to use the microwave because there was another shoot on in there. So I will have a go next time when I have access to a microwave.
I was happy with light lighting as it looked like a sunny morning breakfast scene, and by capturing the syrup dripping off the stack of pancakes it make it look even more appealing.
