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 !

Soooo.... it's taken a while but Food Pixels has finally completed its makeover. The renovation impacts not just the look but also the content and it reflects my own evolution as a professional food photographer and as a blogger. I hope you'll like the new site and blog and I look forward to receive your comments and feedback, because the changes won't certainly end here or now.

Here is a short bts video to make you hungry for more.... It was shot with a Nikon D7000, at ISO 800, s 1/50th sec and f/ 4.5 . I used tungsten light for this one.

The image at the top instead was shot with flash - camera settings: ISO 100, s 1/160th sec and f/ 5.6

Enjoy it!
