Anybody who knows me well is well aware of my passion for good food, so I am very pleased when opportunities arise that allow me to combine my love of photography and food together... :)
Gill Keeble runs a successful business selling lovely cupcakes for all occasions, from birthdays to weddings and as decadent self indulgent treats. The cupcakes are stylish and decorated with sumptuous quantities of lovely soft icing and it has been a joy for me to photograph (and also eat them on occasion). My favourites are Gill's wonderful Nutella and Peanut Butter filled cupcakes, designed to be soft and creamy, as well as pretty to look at and wonderful as a gift or tea party addition.
I was asked by Gill to photograph a cake and selection of cupcakes to as she needed images to use for her marketing, and also components of the cupcake kits Gill also supplies through her website.
Armed with my camera kit, an assortment of lovely cakes, some furniture and props, we ventured out into a windy field in the Norfolk coast a few weeks back to grab some delectable images for Gill to use. The main problem was the sharp cold coast wind, and made it quite uncomfortable to work in at times, and was trying it's best to blow cakes and flowers away :) Liberal use of elastic bands, ties and blue tack allowed us to proceed without any damage being done and for the cakes to be enjoyed later... :)
If you'd like to get in touch with Gill, please have a look at her site here.
Hope you like the images and look forward to your comments. Also please add yourself to my facebook page if you haven't done so already.
A lovely week to you all! x
