Rites de potage (XCIV): Photography and Food
»If you think about your model’s comfort, it will provide you with much better photographs in the long run. It is always a good idea to provide a variety of snacks and drinks, and even a complete meal if the session will run more than three to four hours. This will keep the model’s, as well as the photographer’s, energy level higher. Light snack foods will be best. Some suggestions would be cheese and crackers, fruit, yogurt, and vegetables. On cold days, provide hot beverages if she desires, and the opposite on hot days. Bottled or purified water is always popular. Avoid alcoholic beverages as they may affect your work or the model’s perception of you.«
John G. Blair, author and photographer, in his book Digital Boudoir Photography: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Fabulous Images of Any Woman
