  OT – Food shot background??

  Posted by Bill Thomas on January 20, 2009 at 9:48 pm

  This probably isn’t the right forum, but I wasn’t sure where to put it. I figured with all the editors here, there will be some great comments!

  I’m doing a video food shoot with southern BBQ and I’m at a loss as to what type of background to use. I’ve shot Mexican in the past, but that’s easy; reds, greens, peppers, blankets, etc.

  The food on this one is mainly hot links, pork sandwiches, tri-tip,etc. What would be a good background? (Or not necessarily background – I mean around where the plates, glasses will be on the table).

  Thanks all…

  Picnic table? Red checked tablecloth? Hard to say without knowing about the restaurant.
