I came across these images from a photo shoot we did years ago for a 4th of July picnic themed blog for my commercial studio. We asked our favorite food stylist if she wanted to help and we would both have the images to use. So it was a fun day! Since we wanted a “picnic” looking theme, I photographed my pond at home, blurred the image and printed a large background for our “outdoor picnic” shoot in the studio. In my studio we printed or painted most of our backgrounds we used for our assignments giving a more personalized look for our commercial clients. Below are the setups for the shoot – the featured image is the main image, then we shot detailed closer images. It was a fun day plus we got to work with Marie, our food stylist!
