USA Workshops San Francisco and New York with Georgie Dolling and Joe Filshie this October

As you have all been asking so nicely I have finely decided to come to the USA to hold some workshops with my super talented friends from Sydney Australia Georgie and Joe.

About the hosts

Myself, Georgie and Joe from zucchini productions are hosting the workshops together. Georgie and joe who run the prop co up in Sydney have been working in the photographic industry for over 30 years. Collectively their client list is extensive. They have worked on many cook books, innumerable magazine shoots, editorial projects and advertising campaigns. They run workshops at their home in Sydney and have just returned from a trip where they held workshops around Europe. With their incredible knowledge in the industry and my knowledge of working as a food blogger we have put together this workshop where we hope you can learn a lot from us.

Are you open to exponential learning that builds your confidence and desire to pursue your food and photography goals? If you’re nodding you head, our workshop series is for you.

TWO DAYS FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY AND NATURAL DYEING WORKSHOP December 1/2nd 

 

*intensive workshop in partnership with Isabella @twome and Silvia @ salvia+limone

A weekend workshop that combines two great skills together, natural fabric dying and food photography.

We will learn and have a hands on fabric dying workshop using waste food & herbs and each attendee will dye two fabric types for themselves. We will photograph the process of the fabric dying and teach how to capture motion. We will style and shoot together a flat lay and recipe from start to finish, using your fabrics that eventually, you will take home as well!

You will be given personal feedbacks during the sessions, and there will be Q&A for each student.

WHERE

at Clapham Studios
