The Vitamix crew celebrates with chef Ani the release of the Vitamix TurboBlend VS!

 

Photographer’s Notes:

 

Cameras Used:

  • Nikon D700
  • Nikon D7000

Lens Used:

  • Nikon 50mm f/1.4
  • Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8

Whenever you are at an event with a celebrity you better be ready for anything. That means bringing two bodies with two lenses ready to rock and roll. With the size of the room and the type of pictures that needed to be taken the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 (aka Nifty Fifty) and the 24-70mm f/2.8 was a perfect combo for this event. When there was time, I would switch lenses with the bodies so that I could take advantage of the DX (APS-C) crop factor. Most pictures were taken with the help of a Nikon SB-900 flash attached with a Gary Fong Lightsphere to help light up the entire room. Other times the f/1.4 grabbed all the light that it could grab and more with the high ISO capabilities of the D7000 and D700.

The Vitamix TurboBlend VS is the perfect gift for anyone that enjoys raw, vegan, and vegetarian meals. The package includes a “Live Fresh Recipes” cookbook with Easel-back design and getting started section. It also includes a “Let’s Get Started” DVD instructional video, hosted by raw food author, Ani Phyo.

If you missed your chance to get a signed book from Ani herself you can still buy one from here: Ani’s Raw Food Essentials by Ani Phyo (signed by Ani herself)
