Not everyone can afford high end camera equipment, but you can still produce beautiful and interesting shots, especially with tips from professional photographer Bob Blanken who will help budding food and product photographers try their hand at capturing the colors and textures of various dishes and items that you may wish to advertise for sale on EBay.
The evening will start with a discussion on what makes a good picture and examples of such. Afterwards, you'll be let loose in front of various studio light setups and you'll begin to snap away as he gives you pointers on where to focus, offer suggestions as to what type of lighting and light boxes would bring out the texture of the food, how to use reflectors to improve the lighting. You will observe and learn as we photograph food prepared by a caterer, Eric and Company
There will be a variety of food and backgrounds to work with as we design, prepare and shoot. You'll be amazed at the quality images you can achieve with the various impromptu setups. For those shooting with a Digital SLR or a 35mm camera, please bring all of your lenses. Everyone should bring a tripod and any products you wish to advertise for sale. We will be using Lowell continuous halogen lights or studio strobes.
Students should bring camera, lenses and a light meter (If owned), or an 18% medium gray card for getting correct exposures.
Limit 8 students.
