This test shoot was designed to showcase a beautifully crafted pasta dish recipe created by Aubrey Johansen of That’s What She Eats styled by Megann Galehouse. The focus was on capturing the dish’s rich textures, vibrant ingredients, and the artistry behind its creation while evoking a sense of warmth, comfort, and indulgence.

As a creative exploration, the shoot served as a test for bright and engaging lighting techniques to enhance the dish’s natural vibrancy. By refining the balance of light and shadow, I aimed to create an inviting, dynamic feel that draws the viewer in and highlights the texture and fresh ingredients.
