Photography for a unique Spanish Sauce produced in Cornwall

A sauce with an original recipe and a unique history of being produced in the caves of Gran Canaria is soon to be launched in Cornwall.

The Spanish owner and chef of Guanchitas is as lovely as she is authentic and the sauces themselves, very flavoursome!

As always, I feel that the composition (arrangement of elements) is an important part of any shoot. You’ll see in the image of the sauce being held, there is a similar diagonal tilt of the head.

This creates a feeling of moving from her eyes towards the top of the bottle, then downwards to the circular motion of the logo. That movement is further aided by the pestle which encourages a continuation of the circular motion upwards and back towards the face.

Even elements of composition that are little more than a hint, can still register positively with the sub-conscious.  My advice is to include as many positive elements as is possible.
