I am very happy to announce a new session for my next Food Photography & Food Styling Workshop down in Melbourne on the 4th of February; the morning class went sold out in a blink of an eye, so we have decided to add an extra session, on the same day, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Details here ( and still a few seats available for Sydney on the 11th of Feb ).

The workshop will take place at The White Space Studio which is a beautiful, large space in Fitzroy, blessed with lots of natural light; those who follow me know that I am rather big on studio lights so this time we'll have a fun session mixing different sources.

The image below was shot just before Christmas, in Melbourne, in occasion of a private workshop I was commissioned by Coles; it's a simple one light setup, shot with a bare Nikon SB900 bounced off a white ( ish ) wall about a meter and half camera right.

As you can see the wall does a great job diffusing the hard light bursting out of the speedlight; no reflector was needed to fill shadows, as the light wraps around the food and props very gently.

Sometimes all you need is .... a white wall !

Sooo, here we go! This is the first of the series and I'm still developing the skills and the format.... but you get the idea.

I'd love your feedback about it, in particular with regards to the topics covered, the quality of the video/audio and the duration

There are a few good tips about post processing here that can help you out in a lot of situations.

Enjoy it and pardon my italian accent :)

 

if you'd like to submit one of your photos of food for a critique, email it to me ( I prefer raw files ) to dario@foodpixels.com

A couple of new dates have been scheduled for the Food Photography and Styling Workshop - both in Sydney and Melbourne; hit me with an email if you are interested in attending; full details about the two classes on my workshops page

The image above is an example of the type of work we'll be doing; this one was a 2 lights setup , with flash; we " build " the images from scratch, one step at the time, food styling, composition, lighting and a little bit of editing - it's good fun !

The one below instead was an exercise on how to shoot very reflective food/ ingredients, and it was shot by the window, with natural light.
