LLART 208 - Food Photography

Whether you are shooting for your cooking blog, wanting to get into commercial food photography, or simply enjoy showing off the beautiful dishes you create for your friends and family, you'll find the tips you need to get the best shots in this two-session class. We'll start with creating an engaging, simple look with natural light. Next, we'll look at examples of food photography, both to explore current styles in food photography and to see how the pros create a professional look. Using an in-class studio set-up, we will then mimic the lighting and styling effects demonstrated in the photos. Along the way we will discuss food-styling basics, working with a food stylist, and photographic tricks the pros use in food advertising.
