Happy Monday! A ton of rain and a bit of work but overall it was not a bad weekend. Remember back about 6 weeks ago, I bought a new camera for a photo shoot at a large pizza chain. I spent a fair amount of time on the photo shoot as well as preparing the images for production. I mentioned I was a little nervous wondering what the owners would think of the results but with a phone call on Thursday, the news was very positive!
They thought the photos turned out great. I happen to be snooping on pizzatown last Wednesday night so I knew the pictures were finally posted and the menus were updated. I was delighted to hear that they were happy with the results. A lot of time and effort went into this project - but in the end it was all worth it.
I was thinking on Saturday if I should post some of the results. I don’t want to be too much of a show-off but I thought it would be fun to give you a follow up on the photo shoot. Below is a series of snapshots and screen captures. I hope you enjoy it!

I think the pics looks great! I didn’t know you had a post on food picture taking…I’m going to go back and find it!
what’s this big announcement?!
Very Nice Zesty!
Your photos look great! I am thinking about investing in a new camera sometime soon because mine is about to die, and I take food photos all the time.
How do you like your Canon rebel? Would you recommend it?
@Emily – I love it! I would def. recommend it.
Those pics are great!
Great photos!
Thanks for including me with such esteemed photographers, Cory. I’m flattered.
Love the photos!
I think that the food photography on http://veganyumyum.com/ is pretty amazing.
Your photos look great! Love the black background, a bit of a change from the usual stark white. I think I must have missed that post, I need to go check it out!
I love the photography at 101cookbooks.com too!

Great job on those photos. I really like the slight reflection of the plate. Very cool.
