There are a lot of great food photographers out there who does this for a living. My Simple Food Photography Workshop intends to give an insight on how it works, from preparing the food, styling, shooting, and marketing.
The objective of this workshop is that at the end of the course, each participants will have a set of food photography portfolio that they can use to pitch for future photo work. For this purpose, my class is limited to a maximum of 5 persons per workshop so that each participant have a comfortable shooting time and enough attention from me.
Overall, the workshop went smoothly and I couldn't help myself from photographing some of the food, during conducting my workshop! :)
I'm conducting more workshops in February, and hopefully at least once a month from now on. Keep checking out posts on this blog! Cheers!

Salam,
ReplyDeleteNicely done.

It is possible to produce nearly same quality of lighting without the studio equipment? I'm interested in food photography, what zoom lens do u recommend? Thank u! Pls do visit my page and drop a few tips.
Congratulations....someday i will join your workshop.....keep good work....cant wait to have good talk with you again soon...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jidin. Hope to see you soon too in one of my future workshops. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHello Nazmi, while studio lighting and speedlights help with the control of lights in food photography, it is undeniable that yes, you can shoot food with only ambient lighting. As for lens, I'd recommend a 50mm f1.8 lens. It's small, has enough focal length when attached with a 1.5x or 1.6x DSLR crop factor, and has a wide range of aperture settings from f1.8 and above. Nice for rendering a good bokeh. I hope this information helps. Cheers!
