OUR APPROACH + HOW TO PREPARE
A HANDS-ON APPROACH
We believe that the real value in our workshop is your extensive, hands on involvement in the creative process. We’re there to help you every step of the way, but we encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. We begin by helping you set up your equipment (if needed), then it’s time to develop the concept, begin propping, navigate lighting, work through the best composition, practically plate or place and finally you take the shot. We work along side you, mentoring you and sharing what’s needed to help you capture your desired image. We also offer one-on-one workshops if you’re interested.
WORKSHOP PREPARATION
You can prepare as little or as much as you like. We’ve had participants who arrive on the day with their iPhone ready to shoot whatever is available. Others bring a range of their products to photograph and are searching for a specific aesthetic. We’ve had workshoppers arrive with a mood board in hand and a specific project to shoot and those who attend with food and ingredients, prepared to capture specific content. We really don’t mind how you approach your time with us. The aim is for you to learn to shoot the content that’s relevant to you regardless of you skill level or equipment.
WHAT TO BRING
• Your camera or smart phone (don’t forget chargers, batteries and memory cards). Please ensure that you know how to use your camera or smart phone. • Related camera equipment (if you have it) e.g. tripod, laptop, tethering lead, etc. • Products you’d like to shoot (if relevant) • Food or ingredients for specific recipes or arrangements. We have ample cooking facilities if you choose to cook something of your own. You could also bring a preprepared dish and we can help you revamp it to give it that fresh, ‘just-made’ look
