How to Capture Iconic Tabletop Food Commercial Shots

Tasty Pictures is a production company based in Brisbane, Australia and one of the leading industry experts in tabletop food photography. Motion Control Operator and Cinematographer, Brendan Isaac (Instagram), gives an informative breakdown on how to capture some of the iconic tabletop shots you see in high-end commercials. Covering classic shots like fruit flying through the air, pasta tossing to majestic wine pouring, the video is a great behind the scenes look at how to achieve stunning slow-motion cinematography.

Although we highly recommend watching the whole video, here are some timings to see different breakdowns:

The flying foods shot @ 2:30
Pasta Tossing @ 5:04
Falling Onion Shot @ 5:57

If you have any questions about the shots, Brendan is happy to answer them, and you can reach him through his Instagram account above.
