Ingredion Staff Portraits, Bridgewater (New Jersey)

In a private studio at Ingredion's New Jersey R&D lab, I had the privilege of spending a half-day capturing candid interactions of their actual staff members (here called Culinologists) with their latest food innovations.

With the upcoming IFT FIRST 2023 Event and Expo in Chicago in mind, these portraits are set to take center stage in showcasing Ingredion's innovative food solutions and products, and the people who are behind them. As they engaged with their food creations, the candid interactions illuminated their dedication to creating exceptional products. I had an absolute blast capturing each team member’s unique personalities and as well as their dedication to their craft.

We have another shoot scheduled for next month, which will be 2 days long, to take more stylized images of the food itself; these photos will appear alongside the portraits on their convention materials.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):

Here are a couple of photos I found online of the finished product on display from the expo:

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D850 using both a 50mm prime lens and a 24-85mm zoom lens, and all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
