This is so neat! Wonderful directions, and great explanation of the legal aspects!
Nicole, this is a very interesting how - to video. Your explanations are clear and easy to follow. I have to try it pretty soon, as it will give me another "qiver in my arsenal."
Love it!! You covered everything. Lovely explanation
What a lovely and thorough walkthrough! Must have more!
Thank you Nicole, very useful video. Congrats!
This is so bomb Nicole! Thanks for sharing!🍦
Well done -- easy to follow. Made me hungry!
Very cool. Great solution to a melting problem - very realistic.
great video! super thorough and informational!
Thank you so much, Nicole! I'll do this!))
What fun! This is a very different photo based video from any others I have ever watched. Thank you. I kept thinking how much fun this would be to do when my grandkids are around and we could make the ice cream and plan the shoot together. Thank you so much. And keep these videos coming.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I bet your grandkids would love it! But they would probably want the real thing afterwards ;)
Thx so much for all the tips. Such a great video 🙂🙏🏻
thanks Nicole!
More videos like this!! Great video, keep it up!!
I don't think I will try this but I really enjoy these sorts of "how to" videos! Thanks!
Great video thank you. Made my day. 👍
Thanks a lot! gonna try this today.
I love to watch this video because you have very nice and clear voice.
This is sine GREAT advice! Thank u for sharing! 💐
Very informative video. I'll have to give it a try in the future.
That was awesome!
Thank you for this video!! Great idea, I struggle with melting ice cream when taking pictures. I will definitely try this, as I create a lot of ice cream recipes
If your recipe is an ice cream recipe, then you will probably still want to use the real food. I would recommend taking a look at this video with some fantastic tips on styling real ice cream: czcams.com/video/LnrZhoKeEt0/video.html
Nicole S. Young Thank you so much!!
Wow amazing !! Who new.. Very informative, thanks for creating this video.. It will come in handy for my Root Beer Float.
Great video keep it up 😍
Pretty wild. Made we want to head to the freezer for some real icecream. Well done.
Thanks you I was doing it for a project
Sprinkle with love from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
hey great video T^hanks !
it looks so real
Nice!
I have never tried Food Photography but I used to do macro work back in the 70's.
One for example was a fluted glass of seltzer with a cherry sitting on the bottom,
encased in bubbles from the seltzer.
Back in the film days, their was a lot of trial and error to get those kind of shots.
I used a Nikon F2 Photomic which allowed me to do multi-exposure shots on some
of my work. Lighting the shots was another challenge.
I'm really dating myself, aren't I !
I always enjoyed pushing the limits, tri-colour photography, zoom in/out photography etc.
Thank you for making the Fake Ice Cream video and I love your hair!

Oh, I can't imagine creating some of the photos I do with film! I learned photography with film but moved to digital before I started growing my business.
@@nicolesy I am pleased to hear that you have film experience. In the film days, I always thought twice before hitting the shutter to make sure I had everything set up correct. Of course bracketing my shots and hoping for the best when I would pickup my slides from Kodak will call.
Digital film is a god send for photographers who like to experiment in all facets of the art.

You can also use light weight spackle or foam clay to make fake ice cream
Nicole, enjoyed watching this video. I don't do food photography but am fascinated with the process. I would like to see a video on how you did the two pieces of french toast with the syrup. Did you use real syrup? would like to see a step by step on how you did that image. Also in a blog you mentioned that you have gotten into water drop photography and mentioned you use a trap device. I couldn't find it and would like to see a video on how you do the photography for water drops and equipment. by the way, love the hair color tips. Very chic.
Thanks, Mary! For the french toast, that's all real food. I actually have a course over on KelbyOne that shows how to make one of my french toast images (might be the same one you're referring to): members.kelbyone.com/course/nyoung_foodphotography/
I'm also planning on putting together a video on the water-drop photography I've been doing. It is definitely on my to-do list for the near future. :) Watch my channel!
Awesome video. Thanks Nicole. But now I gotta get me some real ice cream!
Do you know how long the ice cream will last while in the ziploc? I have a shoot on Wednesday and would ideally make it ahead of time.
Thank you so much Nicole for your answer. What do you think about clear glue with food coloring?
I've never tried that before, but if you need something that will last it might be worth a try. Be sure to test it out before you add it to your 'hero' though.
Hi, I hope you are doing well. Before anything else, many thanks for this helpful video, I just have a doubt.... How much this "ice cream" will be manipulable inside the Ziploc bag? For example, can I storage this "ice cream" for a week and then use it for some photos?
Awesome can you do a tutorial on soft ice cream?
Fun!
do you just store them outside at room temp in an air tight container?
Hi Nicole, This is a great video. I am about to try it. May I ask what you used as caramel on top?
It was just normal caramel topping from a squeeze bottle that I got from the grocery store. I don't recall the exact brand.
Nice photo 😍😍👍
Hi Nicole! do you have any edible ways of making the drip? A substitute for the glue?
Royal icing maybe
With what I could substitute store bought frosting? Unfortunately in Italy we don’t have it in shops 😅
You could bake it from scratch, buttercream would probably be the closest type. But I’ve never tried this method without store-bought.
I want to eat it!! Great
😍
Is the secret using a food processor? I used the same recipe, mixing with a mixer, and it turned out unusable for photos.
Hi, maybe I did not hear it... but how long before the shoot can you make this?
I don’t know an exact amount of time, but if you keep it in a sealed bag it could probably last a while.
@@nicolesy because I have a rather big shoot (beach setting) and I want to make it a few days before... that is possible?
That should probably work. Just make sure that it is in a tightly-sealed container or it could dry out. I recommend using at least two ziplock bags to store it.
@@nicolesy but if you shape it immediatly it dont matter if it dreis out.. right?
You will probably want to shape it right before you photograph it.
Can you put time stamps on any future fake food making videos?
Can we leave this overnight? E.g. i have a photoshoot tomorrow and want to make the ice cream tonight to save time
It should stay fresh overnight if you seal it in an airtight container or ziplock bags.
@@nicolesy thank you!!
what is ok or not ok?
What is frosting?
Also called icing ... the stuff you put on cakes. :)
show me one company that doesnt use fake food for their advertising? its literally the reason im here lol. most companies use CGI today too.
I'm guessing it's ok to use fake ice cream for photoshoot props?
marunong ako gumawa ng fake ice cream para sa photoshop lalo na pang commercial 🙂 selecta icecream at magnolia pang shooting ...
Is this edible?
Yes but it would not taste very good. It's made using frosting and powdered sugar.
Yes, that ethical crap is known in food photography. Everyone adheres to it, especially multinational companies. But I understand you. You have to say it, even if you don't stick to it.
xd
Are you affiliated with B and H? If not, how frustrating is it that they copied your video from the title right down to the Trader Joe’s powdered sugar! Why? I just don’t get it…
No, but I just searched and found the video you referenced. Definitely looks familiar ☹️
Are you can Just put colored mash potatoes on the ice cream that easy than wasting your time than a video when you should read this comment
Dude you talk too much. Get to the point
