An Apple a Day or More!


Great food photography is all about great collaboration and great inspiration.

The “Bounty of Oregon” is termed bandied about here in the Pacific Northwest but that bounty is not just limited to the Willamette Valley. Salmon, hazelnuts and marionberries are only part of the richness of this area of the world.  

In the Southern Oregon, where it is a little drier and sunnier, apples and pears have found a lush, growing environment. Hood River grows some of the best stone fruit and cherries on a ring road at the base of Mt Hood known affectionately as “The Fruit Loop”.  


Let Jeremy Dunham, Polara's go-to videographer and editor get in the act you have this video to check it out.












Finally with Carol Ladd slicing, dicing and cooking you get a yummy apple tart that we hope is as much a feast for the eyes as it was for our tummies. Natural foods shot in natural light always the perfect recipe.

Inspired by Michael Shay, Polara's food photographer started working with one of his favorite food stylists, Carol Ladd, to create a series of images that reflect the love of this bounty both in its natural form and used in tasty dishes. Start with apples from Carol's garden, take them into Polara's natural light studio and play with shape and form and this is
what you get.
