A little photography help
May 20th 2010
I’ve always said I stink at shooting photos of my cake creations. I swear I would double my orders if I could just get some beautiful photos of them like you see on blogs like Style me Pretty. Plenty of photographers have tried to give me ideas on better lighting or staging or whatever, but the real problem is that once a cake is set up, it’s not going anywhere. I can’t just pick it up and move it to a spot in the room with better lighting. Wedding cakes weigh 50+ pounds if they are of any size (despite when you see the guys on Cake Boss carrying them in one hand, waiter-style).
So, my current plan is to beg pro photogs for some of their shots after the wedding. Below is my shot of Michelle and Travis’ cake in April. See the next post for a better look.
