Food by Michelin Starred Chefs #cssg

  • September 28, 2012
  • naina

I recently had the immense pleasure of spending three wonderfully exhausting days photographing the CSSG Gastronomy Summit in New Delhi, India. My focus was to document the six Chefs as they were involved in various activities that mostly included creation of food. Naturally, the first few images that I am sharing are of the food they created.

Devika, on my Facebook Business Page, commented, “Can i be your assistant…hold your camera…case…tripod anything. on your next foodie shoot?” I get such requests, messages and emails regularly, so I thought I would share my reply to Devika here on the blog as well.

Hey Devika Narain Mathur 🙂 This wasn’t a “foodie shoot” – I was covering a three-day Gastronomy Summit and I have more photos of the Chefs than the food. [ Just to give you an insight, there was no tripod, no case, no assistant. The above has been photographed in a very large ballroom sized room that was being used to plate the food. The room had dim yellow lighting and very high ceilings but almost every object in the room was white. I had my 24-70 2.8 lens on the D800 and the SB600 as on-camera flash, that I bounced to left, slightly bottom of the frame above. It bounced off the next table that had a white tablecloth and created some gorgeous light. ] There were dozens of people milling around, plating the food, waiters carrying the food to guests, hotel managers directing the flow of the food, the chefs overseeing everything etc. This was photographed in a 10-second window before the food was picked up from the table by one of the waiters. [ That’s another reason why there really is no space for an additional photographer / assistant – everyone just wants to do their thing and I was an intruder who was in their way although they will probably never say it to my face. ] Also, I avoid working with assistants because it spoils me. In my head, I should be able to produce good imagery on my own, should be able to handle my gear, should be able to do post-processing, etc. There probably are instances where I might need an assistant but I have not experienced any of those instances yet. If I did, I would probably ask a friend [ who is not a photographer ] to help me out. For me, personally, an assistant needs to be someone I can trust blindly & can order around if I need something – I will not be comfortable with a stranger.

    Wonderful photographs!
    The colorful table-cloths/napkins that you use generally are missing. They add to the composition. But obviously, you couldn’t have done that at this place.
    Your photographs inspire me, really!

      Yup Tarun – no time to actually set up a shot 🙂
