This full 3 day workshop will include in-depth instruction in food photography and styling using the bounty of beautiful foods and ingredients of the region.
We will learn how to create different moods in natural light and you’ll learn all about ISOs, aperture, depth of focus and all the basics of photography and composition.
We will cook together a local meal, which we will each be able to shoot from start to finish. Once done shooting, will also post-produce the photos together and learn about the ways to bring out the best from each photo and find your own style.
We will also take time to explore the rich and fertile scenery of this enchanting region.
