If you can’t make this one, but would like to be notified of future workshop dates, just sign up below.

This 3 week long online workshop is all about making beautiful images of food using natural light, simple styling as well as telling a story around it. Seeking the one perfect image is wonderful, but, for me – it’s the story that pulls me in deeper, makes me want to keep coming back for more, and keeps me loving what I do simply because each story is inherently unique.

In our time together, I will share with you what I have learned and what I know about making beautiful and engaging images of food by using solid techniques and almost more importantly, a creative eye & heart through descriptions, visual examples, demonstrations, shooting assignments and individual critiques.

This workshop is for food photographers, food bloggers, recipe developers, food writers, hobbyists, amateurs, or anyone wanting to learn to improve the quality of their images and/or how to approach, style and make beautiful images of food using natural light in the simplest of settings. I create many of my food images/stories in the dining room of my own home or by a single window in my studio with the simplest of props, natural styling, and basic equipment, and you can too.

My goal is to share with you my approach along with the components of creating beautiful photographs of food that you can take with you, continue to practice with and use to create enticing images to grab your reader’s/client’s attention on your own websites, blogs or personal projects.

Pr-requisites: You may be at any level, skill-wise, but you must know how to use your own camera’s functions, and understand the fundamentals of manual exposure.
***This is NOT a beginner’s photography 101 class. Any dslr camera will be fine. If you have the ability to change out (or borrow) lenses, even better – I mainly use a 50 1.4 and a 100 2.8 macro.
A tripod will be very advantageous, as would shooting tethered, but not necessary. I will be using both, lightroom and photoshop – both of which, you should have a basic understanding of.
If you have any specific questions as far as equipment and/or programs, just drop me an email.
