January found me teaching another Food Photography 101 workshop to another group of great local food bloggers. This one was held at Irashai Grill (follow Irashai on twitter here)with the help of their fabulous PR and social media maven Danielle, and of course we had to stay for lunch after which was delicious, as always!

I love all the food bloggers I’ve met through these workshops - they’re all so curious and eager to learn; it’s so awesome! And check out their blogs:

Ethnic Eats and Degan Beley

Fine Lime Designs

Darryl Hodgins

Daily Unadventures in Cooking

The Reluctant Chef

Shermans Food Adventures

Community Kitchens website and blog

Gourmeted

Victoria’s Food Secrets Follow Victoria on Twitter Fan her Facebook Page

And what happens after the workshop always cracks me up: we sit down to eat in a few of the booths, but out come the cameras, putting their workshop knowledge to the test! You can also see some of the bloggers who posted their pics afterwards.

*Update: as of January 2nd this workshop has reached capacity. Please do send me an email if you’d like to be put on the email list for the March workshop on Food Photography & Styling!

We’re doing another one! For those of you that couldn’t make it to the December 5th food photography workshop for food bloggers, you’ve got another chance!

Food & Beverage Photography 101: A Workshop for Food Bloggers! (and other creative types!)

11am-1pm, Saturday January 9th at Irashai Grill in Vancouver, BC

Why is this a perfect workshop for food bloggers?

I continually get asked how to shoot better in restaurants with low lighting, or at home in natural light, and without spending wads of cash on equipment. That is exactly what this workshop is all about:  simple and affordable solutions that will improve your photographs.

Not a food blogger? But love shooting your kitchen creations and want to learn a few techniques? That’s ok - you’re more than welcome too!
