Front Burner

We've been on the road lately, and have some great pictures to show for it. This gallery has my behind-the-scenes shots of our photographer at work with the staff of Cafe Reconcile in New Orleans.

Photo shoots, if you have never been on one before, are quite the operation. Some of the most seemingly simple shots can take hours of fiddling to perfect, and the number of people it takes to get the task done is similarly interesting. From what I've seen, it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 people to orchestrate the shoot: the photographer, photographer's assistant, story editor, prop stylist, food stylist, and any number of other assistants.
