Thanks to social media, food photography is now a big deal. Sites like Instagram and Pinterest make it easier than ever to take pictures of food and share them with millions of viewers. But getting your pictures noticed requires so much more than just a well-composed snapshot.
Through a combination of in-class learning, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, this beginner's workshop will elevate your food photography to a level you thought was reserved for the pros. In this workshop, you won't be using expensive studio lights. Contrary to common belief, it’s possible to use inexpensive lights, DIY setups, and props at home to create a professional-grade photo that looks as if it was shot in a studio. You will also receive a live editing demonstration, covering the best practices for the post-production of food images.
