The goal of these 4 hour workshops is to give people of any skill level the basic knowledge and confidence to improve their food photography. With a need for not much beyond a camera, some basic light manipulation tools and a better understanding of what makes food pictures evocative and beautiful, participants will hopefully come away with the skills to make better food pictures.

Equipment:

Digital Camera

Light discs, scrims and small and large black and white cards (if possible)

Tripod (if you own one)

Any personal props you would like to style with”
