Todd and Diane's huge collection of cutting boards, captured by iPhone! |
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you might have noticed that a few weekends ago I was enthusiastically sharing about a food photography workshop hosted by my good friends and amazing photographers, Todd Porter and Diane Cu of White on Rice Couple. I've heard Todd and Diane talk about food photography at several blogging conferences, so I knew the workshop held in their fabulous food photography studio outside Los Angeles would be informative, but I never imagined how life-changing it would end up being for me. Two days of listening to the experts, watching demonstrations, and practicing new shooting methods really got me thinking outside the box on my personal food photography journey.
Plus Todd and Diane had visited my house on the tour for their gorgeous cookbook, so they could help me with one of my biggest photography challenges, which is too many big windows in the rooms where I normally shoot. When I got home, I bought black foam core boards and clamps the very next day! A few food bloggers have been asking me about the workshop, so I thought I'd share some highlights and a few of my photos.
