WMMB Grilled Cheese Academy 2016 Recipe Winners

by Scott Lanza September 16, 2016 in Food Photography, Shoot Details, Studio Photography 0 comments tags: Food, Grilled Cheese Academy, How Too, Photography, Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board
This past July, the annual winning recipes from the WMMB Grilled Cheese Academy “2016 Grilled Cheese Recipe Showdown” were photographed at my studio!

The website, Wisconsin Cheese Cupid is a beverage and Wisconsin cheese online pairing guide. The project consisted of photographing beverages ranging from wines, champagnes to beers and liquors along with the cheeses featured on the site. The cheese shots were pretty straight forward but the beverage shots were another story! We used a Riedel Glassware “Wine & Glass Guide” brochure for reference as how we wanted the glassware   to look on the site! At first glance shooting the glassware against a black background with strong rim light looked starlight forward. Not! We realized that shooting the glassware and getting the same look as the Riedel brochure would take more that a single shot because of how the rim light reflected in the opposite side of the glass from the light source! We would need to shoot the glassware then, Chad Bollenbach, Shine’s brilliant retoucher would crop down the center in Photo Shop and duplicate the good side and flop it! Because we […]
