Teaming Up

     This week we were invited to team up and collaborate to produce a micro project.  As I looked at the images from the others in the group nothing really struck me as coordinating with my own but Jennie's image caught my eye and it didn't appear as if she had an established group as yet so I reached out to see if she would like to team up.  She did.  Since we shoot different types of photography typically we tried to find a common theme or idea.  Jennie mentioned food photography and as we were discussing how very different our areas were (Malta vs. Idaho) the idea was born to do a comparison/contrast in things that can be grown locally.  We discussed the elements (angle, colors etc) of the shoot and decided to follow the main colors of food. 
     One of our biggest challenges also derived from our very different locations - in the form of the time difference!  One of us was almost always sleeping when the other was awake.  But in the end I think it all came together.
      Of the shoot itself I was reminded how 'not easy' it is to shoot food lol but I enjoyed trying to bring out a little personality in the images.  At least when you pose food it holds still (as apposed to children, which I usually shoot).  Here are the results.  See if you can guess which is which-
