Afternoon cocktails, dappled light, crafted scene
Cocktails and popcorn in a holiday scene, dappled afternoon light made in a windowless studio with a strobe and a cucoloris — a light-blocking panel cut to replicate the pattern of sun through leaves or a window screen. The effect lands as a specific hour of day, built entirely from artificial light. Professional food and prop stylists on set. Studio food advertising photography for Northern California brands running seasonal and holiday campaigns.
