Here's my latest project, fashion meets food (for Foodprint 2012). With thanks to Angelique from Petit Gateau for the eatable shoe. (click on the picture for a larger version)

Foodprint 1011

Some time ago I did a serie of pictures for Foodprint 1011 with Floriane and a marzipan, sponge cake Longchamps handbag lookalike... It was great fun and now Foodprint is out.

Let her eat cake!

I noticed that lack of sleep usually puts me either in a lethargic state, or in a crazy adrenaline driven mode. Unfortunately, I can't tell when which will happen so it's down to luck really.
Thursday was one of those insanely busy yet brilliant days. And good for me, adrenaline driven.

There was the early wake-up call, the mad dash for the cake (over cobbled roads), the preservation of said cake (we've had a terrible weather so far but Thursday the sun decided to shine so I spent the drive back with the air co turned up to the max)... 
And then the shoot. Great fun girls! Sanne did a wonderful job on the make-up and styling and Floriane was so enthusiastic about munching on the cake I thought she hadn't eaten for days.

And of course, thank you Petit Gateau for this masterwork!
Here are my two favorite images from the shoot, more will follow on www.stephaniefraikin.com.
 

Petit Gateau

Do you remember I was looking for a cake-artist the other day? Well, I found it!
I'll be working together with Petit Gateau: an Antwerp based company specialized in all sorts of cakes (weddings, birthdays...).
They do an amazing work!
Why would you go to a (boring) local baker when you can have these for an afternoon High Tea?

So thanks to this collaboration, and if all goes well and the cake survives the car trip: the shoot will take place on Thursday with Floriane as model & Sanne de Wolf as MUA.
Keep posted, I'll show the final image here in a few days...

Foodprint publication

This Belgian publication (Foodprint) gives an overview of all food related topics and showcases a selection of Belgian top photographers.
For last year's edition, I invited Ellen for a night-time picnic, where as a Russian princess she indulged, with a bit of guilt, in a few precious strawberries.

This year, I have something else in mind.
Keep an eye on all channels, by the end of next week I should be able to show you something: it's gonna be finger licking good.
