In our hands-on Food Photography workshops, we cover all aspects of food photography: exposure, composition, styling, working with food, lighting, props, and more. In this workshop– Drips, Drizzles, Dustings, and Drops– we will also be emphasizing flourishes– Drips, Drizzles, Dustings, and Drops! For example, the drip of syrup onto pancakes, the drizzle of icing on cookies, the dusting of salt onto popcorn, and the dropping of cookies into milk! Attendees will work in teams of two and have four separate setups that can be altered, but are “ready to go” for basic image execution. In the end, you’ll have at least four completely separate and unique food photo concepts to add to your food gallery of images!
In the class, we will cover many of the basics for beginners, such as exposure, composition, lighting and styling, but also the advanced technique of movement.
For this workshop, we will provide some foods and flourishes, but photographers are welcome to bring their own ideas and foods as well! We will also provide lighting and diffusers. Photographers are welcome to bring their own additional props.
Beware! This workshop will make your mouth water!
