Last Photo Shoot - Picnic Lunch for Two

Helene and Clare demonstrated how they set up a food shot and work it.  Watching these pros setting up and styling helped me tremendously.  And this what I came up with : Picnic lunch for two.

I learned so much this weekend and the creativity and energy of these two women and 10 other attendees really recharged me.  Of course on the drive way home from Charleston to Savannah, I was stopping at every antique stores hunting for props.  Oh, boy, my husband will love me more lugging in all the stuff into the house.....

It was an incredible weekend learning from Helene, Clare, and the attendees.  But most of all, I think this is a beginning of a wonderful friendship.

  4. I am so glad that you had this opportunity to meet and learn from the masters of food photography. They must have loved to have you in their class as much as you loved to be there.

    1. Ben, I use Lightroom. But I try to take the best photo I can, then tweak it a bit. On this photo, I darkened the photo a little and made it a bit sharper, that was it. :)
