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 !
From Sydney, Dario Milano, professional food photographer and food stylist specializing in editorial and advertising photography and video for food and lifestyle.
