About This Workshop
Taking photos of your kitchen creations can get frustrating when the dish just isn't cooperating the way that you expected it to look.
Food may not always be the most photogenic subject. Your hero will have a limited shelf life, especially once you need to take the time to change lights and angles.
We tackle the trickiest, yet most common types of dishes you'll encounter and show you the behind-the-scenes magic of how they come out better.
This course is great for food photographers and stylists alike who are looking to beef up on technical skills.
Hands-on and Personalized
Workshop participants get to follow along with the step-by-step of the styling demonstration. We will help troubleshoot anything they encounter while plating the dishes, making it a custom experience for every participant.
Integrated
Learning Experience
The module on food styling and food photography weave seamlessly together as we take the styled dishes from the kitchen and bring them into the studio. Each dish pairs perfectly with a photography technique to really absorb the learnings in a friendly pace.
