Fast food photography on the driving range. This time, it’s for Top Golf, an American golf driving range concept, getting bigger in the UK.
I have been photographing food for Top Golf for several years now and have to say, for fast food, theirs is generally at the higher end, with some great takes on the usual fast food classics, and some delicious extras, like tater totts, if you haven’t tried them, you must give them a go, they’re delicious!
Having photographed burgers and other fast foods for many years and for many clients, it’s always a lot of fun. I think part of the reason for this, is that they’re great comfort food, the kind we all crave when we’re really hungry and thinking about quick sensory satisfaction.
As always, I like to keep the lighting relatively simple, partly because we have a lot to get through but also because overcomplicated lighting is simply unnecessary and generally creates more problems.
So here are just a few from our most recent shoot for them.
Always tricky to get this looking fresh and piping hot, making the food look appetising and still true to the product. The directional lighting helps by adding additional contrast and definition.
Yes, if you’re looking for a healthier option, Top Golf can accommodate you too.
So fast food photography, as with most food photography, does have to be pretty fast, especially where there’s cheese or fresh leafy garnishes involved.
This has been just a very small selection of the shots we have taken on this particular project, if you are interested in seeing more, please feel free to get in touch via my contact page, here or email me directly [email protected]
