Farmland Photography 2009-2015

Allan Mendez May 14, 2016

I'm a farmland lover, I grew up in one... Barrio Daraitan - Philippines. When I left my beloved Barrio... I missed the field and the soil that my Grandpa tilled. When I came to America I brought the memories, but not the Barrio life, but when I found East Bay Regional Park, I found home - I found my new Barrio Daraitan! This is East Bay Regional Park: A armland Photography compilation 2009-2015

I always keep my eyes open when looking for a good deal on props. Sometimes the best prop is burried somewhere and that's where I found this blue bottle. Nope I didn't encounter Genie, I wish, so I can ask for a full frame mirrorless camera. :)
For the love of Tea! This pewter teapot just joined my prop collection. #squaredroid #caffeine #mug #drink #coffeeaddict #coffeegram #coffeeoftheday #coffeelover #coffeelovers #coffeeholic #coffeecup #coffeelove #coffeemug #coffeeholic #coffeelife #coffeetesting #coffeeroaster #valleyantiques #vintagefinds #vintagekitchen #whyshiftlocal #coffeephotography #coffeephotography #blackcoffee #sunday #foodblogger #café #relax #vintage
This orange, teal and purple Split Complimentary colors are so magical!
Teapot and teacup straight out of my props bunker. Lighting inspired by the Dutch Master... well I tried my best :-)
I'm back from a long sleep! lol. I had so much fun photographing this Bowtie Pasta Salad... nope I didn't get to eat this. Food styling took about 1hr and prop styling is about 2 hours of digging into my props vault. As usual, I wanted a country living environment and a rustic table setting that would make you feel at home. Props I used are rare pieces I found from the best antique shops around my area such as @valleyantiques in Hayward and Antique shops on Alvarado Niles Blvd in Fremont. Photography, food and prop styling by me :)
