Event Overview

This is a hands-on class that will help you to take your food photography into the next level. We will be discussing food photography basics and some tips and tricks. We will then be plating and shooting food together, with a focus on lighting and food styling. This class is designed for beginners, including food bloggers, businesses, and agencies. Dabblers will learn to take photos of homemade food and restaurant dishes that will make viewers’ mouths water, all using low budget equipment and tools. At the end of the class, Dabblers will understand how to use and modify natural light, style food with minimal tools, and craft delicious-looking pictures with whatever camera happens to be available, be it a DSLR, a point-and-shoot, or an iPhone.
