ASK Italian:
Animated food photography
Brief: With lockdown in place and no photography shoots being able to go ahead, we had to think creatively when altering dishes to fit with takeaway guidelines.
Solution: Utilising our existing food photography, I took to Photoshop and retouched a selection of shots into ‘new’ images.
My role: On-set direction / assisting and photo retouching, editing, and GIF creation*.
