LC will share her creative process in an inspiring and image rich presentation and discuss the technical details, equipment basics and creative aspects to consider to help build your food photography portfolio and develop your own style and vision. She'll also discuss and demonstrate how to build a shot from the very beginning using available light (like what we might have at home in our own kitchens), as well as using a using a basic studio light setup.
Following the presentation, students will break into small groups and practice photographing food in different lighting conditions with her creative expertise and guidance to help along the way.
Topics covered:
- Camera settings & lenses that are best for food photography
- Exposure settings
- Depth of field and focus choice
- Lighting including available light vs. studio light
- Composition and camera angles
- Building the shot
- Effective use of props
- Basic food styling tips
- Recommended gear
- Industry resources
and more!
Bonus image review section at the end of class! Each student is invited to share up to 4 images to be gently critiqued by LC.
Students should bring:
- Cameras and a macro lens (if available), otherwise a normal lens in the range of 24-70mm.
- A laptop in order to download and choose your favorite for sharing.
Please note: Students should be familiar with photography basics and manual exposure controls such as ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. We will not have time to introduce you to these at the class.
