I'm going to be shooting some food, on location, at a Cafe'. Since I can't take the whole studio :wink: what would you suggest I do?

A dinner entre on a plate, possibly a table setting, but I think I can use a light box for menu items? Or am I better off going with diffusion screens and reflectors? Bowl of soup, or sandwich with fries. Very basic.

What I'm looking for is minimal equipment and using the space available. I'm just wondering the best way to address the lighting issues.

Anyone have ideas or experience with this?

Who would have imagined, me... shooting food!

I'll take pictures of me taking pictures when I do it and report back.

My intention is to make these into Micro submissions, since I'll own the rights.

Edit: I can set up one of the tables in the corner in advance. Did I mention that customers, may be present during the shooting, but it's off hours, so there might be only one or two. Not much interference.
