2-Day Stylized Food Shoot in New Jersey (Ingredion at Bridgewater) Pt. 2

Nestled within Ingredion's New Jersey R&D lab, their private studio served as the epicenter for capturing a dynamic two-day photoshoot to exhibit their latest culinary creations. With a keen focus on showcasing their new food products for an upcoming convention, this project was a dance of precision, creativity, and tight deadlines.

Their team, consisting of a food stylist, two art directors, a few people from Ingredion’s marketing team, and myself, worked in synergy to capture each food product in its finest form. Tethered shooting allowed for immediate feedback, as the art directors integrated live photos into pre-designed graphics for the convention booth whose graphics were due in just a couple of days. The high-stakes nature of the project demanded a meticulous approach, as each photo was finetuned on the spot to seamlessly align with the precise standards of the exhibit materials.

As we navigated through two intense days, the result was a collection of photographs that embodied the essence of Ingredion's innovative spirit. Each shot captured the culinary excellence they bring to the table, mirroring their commitment to crafting high-quality food products. This collaborative endeavor showcased not only their creations but also the power of seamless coordination in delivering a compelling visual narrative.
