There’s something magical about a perfectly captured dessert that makes you want to dive right in and take a bite. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our recent strawberry shortcake photoshoot and how we captured the essence of this classic, mouthwatering treat.

Setting the Scene

Before we could even think about snapping photos, we needed to set the perfect scene for our strawberry shortcake. We wanted to create a bright, airy energy with plenty of hard light to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere. With that, we kept the background simple but colorful to showcase the shortcake’s vibrant colors and playful nature.

Prepping the Star of the Show

Assembling the strawberry shortcake with care was crucial to capturing its scrumptious layers and textures. Precisely layering the slices of cake to create a captivating piece. To keep the dessert looking fresh and vibrant throughout the shoot, we made sure to have extra jam and whipped cream on hand for touch-ups.

Capturing the Perfect Shot

With the scene set and our star dessert prepped, it was time to start snapping photos. For this shoot, we experimented with various angles and compositions to showcase the dessert’s layers and textures, from close-ups that highlighted the juicy strawberry jam to overhead shots that emphasized the fluffy cake and whipped cream. We also played with lighting to create a sense of depth and to emphasize the vibrant colors of the strawberries and cake.

Styling and Storytelling

To bring the story of our strawberry shortcake to life, we played with the composition and angles. So, we kept the styling simple because the strawberry shortcake was fun and energetic all on its own. Thus, any other props would take away from that.

Capturing the perfect strawberry shortcake is all about paying attention to the details. From setting the scene and prepping the dessert to experimenting with angles, lighting and styling. Thus with a little creativity and patience, you can showcase your own delicious creations in a way that will leave your audience craving more.
