I like to eat almonds when I take pictures. Almonds are good. Mmm... almonds.

What do you munch on if anything?

mmmm...coconut.  i buy young and fresh ones at whole foods.  that would make a perfect set snack.  just leave the machete on the craft service table.

have you had UNCLE EDDIE'S (available at whole foods, west)?  are you really vegan?  incredible...even more, and i didn't think it possible.

I always have on hand for model & MUA, a variety of juices, bottled water, fresh coffee brewed and sliced apples & pears. So far no complaints and energy stays high for all. One recent model requested cheese & crackers. That screwed up her makeup and teeth pretty bad. :-) I won't do that again..

Just feed me almonds.  I'll do anything for almonds.  Mix in dried cranberries or cherries and you will never have to pay me.  Throw in fresh pineapple and guava juice and I will pay you.

I don't eat while shooting. I'll wait till after the shoot to break for food. I don't care to shoot a model who's masticating on camera.

pr - Oreos are vegan now. still unhealthy as hell, but vegan nonetheless.

Exactly, just because something is vegan, doesn't mean it's healthy...I was referring to those cookies up there, not only because they are vegan, but they are made only with natural ingredients, without any refined/white/brown sugars, additives, MSG's or dyes, no evaporated cane juices and stuff like that, no cane sugar either, and of course no dairy or eggs cause they're vegan....Great stuff, it's worth checking them out...

I remember hearing San Francisco tried to outlaw Oreos to make a point about nutrition last year. Anyone else hear about that? I don't know if it was true or not.

Two words:

Chex Mix (the original flavor).  I usually bring a bag to the studio for the shoot and the models usually eat it up...  I don't mind, it's why I bring it.  smile

I like to put out a little plate during the day myself. My photo sessions are not commerce to me, so I like to make the model feel at home and comfortable, and have a nice, relaxed shoot. I'll generally ask what a model might like to have around during the day. My personal standard is a couple or more nice styles of French cheese, fruit, mixed olives, peppered salami, proscuitto or chorizo, crackers/bread, and a bottle of red if one so desires. If you're a militant vegan, then I might just take you to the grocery store too.

And if you're REALLY nice, then I'll share my dark chocolate! .-}

CALLING ALL NY MODELS!!!

That means you Elisaveta. ;-}


Cheers,
Martini

whoa, wait a minute.  are you sugar free too?  the link you sent me shows fruit juice as an ingredient and 9g of sugar per serving, or 18g per cookie.  why no evaporated cane juice?  cancelling your gift box order...

This is a strange thread!  I don't eat anything while shooting.   But many times I do keep a bottle of water with me in case I get thirsty.

This is a funny thread!  I thought it was going to be about advice on how to Photograph Food Snacks!

I never eat during a studio shoot.....but I do need plenty of caffeine, so I usually bring Dr Pepper or Vitamin Water. In Chicago, the tradition was we all went out to Dinner after the shoot anyways.

On location outdoors, its a long day in the middle of nowhere, sometimes I'm gone all day, so I do bring Cliff Bars to snack on while hiking or driving around.

Fruit juice yes, added sugars and evaporated cane juice or cane sugar I try to stay away from...yes, there's some grams of sugar, but it's natural, not added...Nutritional info is great as fars as giving you the amount of sugar, fat, carbs, protein, etc. per gram, but the ingredients is actually what counts the most; what's in IT!!

I don't eat during shoots at all... got to stay focused...

If there is a very long shoot... we'll break for food... pizza or whatever... but otherwise, I need to concentrate and I don't want to see the models belly swell from food.

What Elisaveta described is great food in general, healthy and nutritious... and raw almonds don't bloat, but also only during breaks.

I don't eat much if anything during shoot either, because...you're there to shoot, not eat after all; but maybe after the shoot...

I like the photographers to normally ask me. Because most people do not know I am vegan. Meaning I do not eat any animal products at all.
So, no candy bars since they have milk chocolate. No, oreos or sugar cookies since that contains butter and milk.

For my last shoot with Chrissy Daniels, she got a veggie platter and made tea. It hit the spot for me.

But if you plan on having snacks, always ask the model if she has any dietry issues.
Because you might run into a diabetic or something as well.

i prefer hendricks with soda (less sugar), or a spanish red wine.  try the 1999 conde de valdemar.

if i'm shooting during the day (and i usually do, since i don't know a thing about lighting): smartwater.

this one is intently.  but, i'm still stuck on your rejection of uncle eddie's.  i have re-read the ingredients for both cookies, and see little difference.  how is fruit juice natural and 'not added?'  educate me, please, seriously.  and, for everyone else reading this thread, we are not so-called hijackers.  this is snack related damn it!
