Well Polished Cakes
It must be fun to be a food stylist and try to find materials to approximate the food you're needing to have photographed. Especially for situations that require the product to be shot in an environment that would not normally allow the food to remain at it's pristine best such as under hot lights or direct sun or freezing cold or whatever.
We were asked by this nail polish company to make a wedding cake (faux of course) for it's newest line of wedding-centric polishes. Just a sort of classic style that they could place the polishes on top of as "bride and groom". Super cute, don't you think? I think this was from last year.
This year, they wanted us to do six little "candies" that would be coated with their newest shades. The candies were actually about 3 inches in diameter but through the magic of PhotoShop (or something techier, who knows) they appeared as small as the little candy hearts we love to munch on around Valentine's Day but with the names of the polishes instead of "oh you kid" or "be mine". You can see the beginning of the process and the final outcome. Pretty cool, huh?
I happened to see a full sized poster in a beauty suppy store that I frequent and proudly announced that my company was responsible for part of the ad. I think they thought my hair color had gone to my brain but they were politely "impressed".
