Food Photography & Styling for Bloggers

L 12 years ago

In case you missed my tweets, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m going to be teaching a new 4 week class on food photography & styling this January. I get so many requests from folks that can’t quite make their way to the Pacific Northwest but are interested in improving their food photography. So, unlike my previous classes, this class is going to be all online jointly with my friend Ron Goldman who has been teaching online classes now for years. Ron is a technical master with lighting and such, and I’m bringing my creative/arty/make due with what you have way of working to this class, so I think it’s going to be something special. Full of inspiration and information about how to make the images on your blog be what you want them to be. You can read more about exactly what is in the class here, or feel free to ask me questions if you want to know if the class is the right fit for you.

  2. Hello,

    I want to take your class because I go on location to photograph food and venues for a company that creates advertising email coupons for the restaurants. (It’s not Groupon!)

    I am assigned to photograph this list:
    1 – 2 appetizers
    1 Р3 salads / entr̩es
    1 – 2 desserts
    + several kinds of non-food interior and exterior photographs

    Often the cook / chef / whomever has no idea how to prepare food for photography and I have to try to inform them how without insulting them. 🙂 I have learned to be firm about not preparing all the food for the photographs at once and have them prepare each dish when I’m finished with the prior one so the food will look fresh.

    I purchased several books on food photography and styling that have been a big help. I have also assembled two kits of tools and one of fabric backgrounds that I carry into each venue in addition to my camera and lighting gear.

    Anything I learn from your class will be used to make my food photographs look better for each restaurant’s advertising so many people will benefit in the long run, not just me.

    Some of my food photographs are on my Flickr photo stream here:

    Thank you for your consideration.

  6. Wow, I’ve been looking for something like this in London. But online is even better! I want to take your class.

  7. I am glad I saw this post because I want to take your class so badly. Wishing for a free class doesn’t cost anything, right?

    I love the texture of the burlap contrasted with the pears and the pretty bowl. I have been collecting props from thrift stores like a mad woman, I need to practice taking pictures more and more.

    Happy Holidays!

    (sorry for the double entry. Dunno how to delete it.)

  13. I want to take your class! I’ve taken Ron’s other two food photography classes, and learned so much! I’m definitely addicted to this genre of photography. I would love to take this class to learn more about food styling!

  18. I truly want to take your class. So, I posted a link to this page on my FaceBook page. And I reTweeted your Tweet as @EatingItNow.

  42. I want to take your class and will Tweet about this at my handle: couchsurfngcook and post tomorrow on my blog and FB page via CouchsurfingCook.com
