Food and Beverage Captures with Brett Schauf

Words and Photos by Brett Schauf, A Platypod Pro

Steak images
"Shot on the Nikon Z9 with a 24-120 lens.  Lighting was two portable flash units. The main light was diffused and second light had a focused snoot.  Stabilization was achieved with the Platypod eXtreme, Platypod Handle and Playball Elite."

"Intent of the shoot was to capture the dry rub process used in preparing a KC Strip for the grill."

Old Fashioned cocktail shot
"One of my favorite drinks seemed like a complimentary subject for the steak images. Background was a mixture of various bottles, smoke was added via a small kitchen smoker."

"Shot with the same set up as the steak images with the addition of a 3rd light on the background."

Salmon image
"Again, shot with the same basic set up and gear."

"This was my attempt at a very simple, clean plated cooked meal."
