Green Mango – Food Photography

Being visible in the internet does have it perks because you get attention from all types of audiences, which opens you up to opportunities you wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. Time and time again, Explore Iloilo has given me so much in my life and I’m very grateful that many people are able to appreciate me because of what I do. A month ago, the people behind Green Mango (a new restaurant in Iloilo) contacted me and asked if I was available to shoot for their upcoming outlet. Sure enough, I took the job because it’s an opportunity I can never decline.

It was an exhausting job shooting more than 20 food items in their menu and editing after. Me and Vince had to make the most of our equipment to make the best output that we could produce. We even made do-it-yourself light boxes, reflectors, and diffusers to cover up for our lack of professional equipment. It wasn’t the most ideal set-up but we were able to come up with the shots that the client wanted. Here are samples of our Green Mango Photoshoot

They also asked us to shoot the facade and interiors of Green Mango

I was finally able to meet the owner during my last visit in Green Mango. He was very friendly and I was shocked to know that he reads my blogs. I was even more surprised when he mentioned that he liked the minimalism in my shots. I really am fascinated with minimalism (after being an avid reader of Zen Habits) but I never expected that it would come across in my photography since I don’t particularly think about it when I compose my shots. This makes me even more inspired to explore and indentify myself as a photograper.
