Seattle Central Creative Academy: Photography Assignment (Food Prep)

Food Prep.  An enjoyable shoot because after you’re finished you get to eat it.  I wanted to create a striking image focusing strictly on the food and a particular message.  And the message?  Polluting our planet, polluting our food.  We live off the resources this planet provides us, and by wrapping a plastic holder for a six-pack can of Dale’s Pale Ale around the salmon’s head while floating over a white ceramic plate, represents the sense of fragility yet power which our food is.  This image is a composite: one image exposed for the plate, the other for the salmon which was hung with 15lbs fishing line cleaned up in PS5.

Location: SCCA Studios, Seattle, WA

Camera/Lens Specifics: Canon 5D Mark II with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

70mm, 1/25 sec at f/4.5, ISO 100, tripod mount.
