Food Photography Workshop Details
This 4 hour workshop is aimed at intermediate level photographers who want to learn, or improve their food photography skills. No previous studio experience is necessary although an understanding of exposure and operation of your camera in Manual Mode is a prerequisite. If you are not fully confident in using your camera in full Manual Mode, you can book a 1-2-1 session here to learn how.
Food Photography Workshops are suitable for individuals or small groups, but in order to get the most out of a session, groups are limited in size to no more than three people.
Basic food ingredients and props are provided as subject matter, but if you prefer to provide a specific food item, product or prop you are welcome to do so.
Food Photography Workshops are relaxed, informal and fun. Daytime sessions start at 10:00 and evening sessions start at 17:00. All sessions approximately four hours.
If you want a longer session, that’s no problem, simply get in touch and arrange a session that suits your requirements.

Capture One Tuition
I use Capture One Pro for my workflow as I find it is by far the best post processing software on the market. If you are unfamiliar with this software, a free 30 day trial can be downloaded here. I am able to provide an introduction to Capture One workshop as a personal tuition session for 1-2 people. Sessions take place either at clients' home or office or in a cafe location in central London.
