Hero of the scene: Slice of pepperoni pizza
I tried to create a cozy, homey, summery vibe with this pizza picnic at Volunteer park on a brisk sunny day in February. The golden hour light dapples across the paper plate with ripped parmesan cheese packet cozied up to the slice. The plate sits on a quilted placemat, bohemian tapestry cradling it all. I’ve placed a stack of vintage dixie cups, which is a not to this being a picnic that involved more than just one person. There is a cooler and plat mesh back to the upper left. Grass peaks through the corners.
I managed to create a summertime vibe in February because of the fabric textures, the red, white, an blues, feeling a little patriotic, and the paper plate all connotes the casual easy vibes of warmer days to come. The quality of the light along with the mixture of textures, the design of the dixie cup, the plaid of the bag also infuse the image with a retro vibe, something I do with much of my prop styling, invoking the 1960s-70s.
