Cook Book - Crunch Munch Scrumdiddlyunch

I have shot some of advertising pages for the cookbook that Remarkables Primary School presented. The purpose of the cookbook is very interesting, it was as one of their studies, bring their favourite or hidden recipes from own families, cook themselves, taste themselves, and chosen the best dishes by the categories.

Here is the ads of clients who supported by making the advertising to publish the book. It was challenging to do this with very tight schedule with clients as well as working with a few designers.

Working with kids are fun! They are all good models and so cute! It was interesting to watch their parents watch nervously their kids while I was shooting. But there were no needs to worry, they did a great job!!

Like kids

Introducing staff members is necessary for a popular shop in town. 
It's a natural thing that people want to buy things from a shop where nice friendly people work.

Here is the members of Rockies - Kids Clothing shop in Queenstown.
The shop owner, Shirley asked me to capture her shop members to show their characters in a fun scene, like kids always love to do.

Very talented staff posed for individual shot with their choice of goods. It was a fun time!
The ring flash lighting was the best choice for the theme. It enhances the 'fun' feeling.

Add to that, I do care about shooting time also, finishing all the shots in one hour should have helped for the busy shop. 

My photo shooting theory for businesses is "Less impact to the business and give a big impact to the audience."
