Are you one of those people who brings out the camera at dinner, not to photograph your dining companions, but to capture the gorgeous food on your plate? We’ve all been guilty of it and here’s a chance to make sure that the pictures you produce are worthy of all the re-arranging. Jackie Connelly, a renowned Vancouver food photographer, is teaching a Food & Beverage Photography 101 workshop on Dec. 5th. I took her introductory class last month and learned how to set up the perfect shot, how to create depth of field and how to adjust lighting. Details follow.
Food & Beverage Photography 101: A Workshop for Food Bloggers! (and other creative types!)
Why is this a perfect workshop for food bloggers?
I continually get asked how to shoot better in restaurants with low lighting, or at home in natural light, and without spending wads of cash on equipment. That is exactly what this workshop is all about: simple and affordable solutions that will improve your photographs.
Not a food blogger, but love shooting your kitchen creations and want to learn a few techniques? That’s OK, you’re more than welcome too!

GOsh I would love to do this, but I will be out of town that weekend. Any chance she will be doing a repeat some time in the future?

Quick update on the Dec5th workshop:
It has filled to capacity, but I will certainly be doing another in the New Year in Vancouver, and putting out some feelers for Victoria and the Fraser Valley as well, so please let me know if you’re interested (info@jackieconnelly.com) and I will keep you posted!
Cheers,
Jackie
