I've been thinking about constructing a small portable "studio" to shoot local restaurant cuisines on-site for their menus and advertising. By portable, I'm talking about proportions in the 3' cube range with baffles for the top and sides to minimize ambient light.
Because of the number of food selections, I'm thinking that it has to be on-site with real food. With 2~3 strobes, reflecting walls, and soft boxes I believe that I could get appetizing images.
I have shot products before but not food. Any reason why this may not work for shots of individual dishes of food? Are there specific differences in how food is lit as compared to inorganic products? Any advise would be surely appreciated!
