Personal Project: Floating / Angel Food Cake
PROJECT TYPE : Personal Photo Project
FOCUS : Food Photography, Composite Editing
This project focused on making fruit float, not fall, around an angel food cake. Through trial and error (and about 200 photos), I experimented with toothpicks, thread, glass, and gravity to create the illusion of weightlessness. The final composite came together in Photoshop, bringing the concept to life. Thankfully, Hays Market saved me from spending the morning whisking a million egg whites.
About my personal photo project:
This series was part of a personal challenge to expand my food and product photography portfolio. For each session, I chose a theme and explored how to translate it by playing with composition, light, and storytelling. As a creative exercise, rather than a commissioned project, it gave me the freedom to experiment and refine my approach.
