Pack Shot advice
Hi All, I have 3 commercial shoots coming up, need some tips: 1) I have to take some pack shots of burgers and chips and milkshakes a) should I take each individual item and then merge in photopaint or display them as a meal and just shoot that (for A4 menu sized use) b) besides the usual glycerine on the tomatoes kinda of food styling anyone got some tips that aren't in the books (this is my first food shot) 2) Some product shots of milk, done this before but sometimes the milk comes out looking a bit yellowish -is it my lighting, my exposure... (using photofloods and negatives) 3) Have a lingerie shoot as well, client wants the colour of the underwear as accurate as possible, I want to shoot as little frames as possible, should I shoot slides or negative? Any other sugestions? Thanx Feroze
Re: Pack Shot advice
For your food shoot, hire a food stylist if possible. It makes a world of difference. They know the tricks for making the food look good. That's their job, not the photographers. I would try lighting the entire assembly if it seems to be working. A composite is a lot of extra work. I've shot some fashion. It's much easier to match color accurately with transparency film. Sometimes I shoot both transparency and negative and use the transparency film for reference.

Re: Pack Shot advice
I'm using a table similar to this www.sell-it-on-the-net.com/images/equipment/table_top_complete.jpg so lighting is pretty easy. I've never shot transparency before but it makes sense to shoot both types.
