The Photo Collective Food Photography Workshop
PHOTO COLLECTIVE MEMBER WORKSHOP: July 31- August 3, 2025
**Please note this workshop is only open to members of the Photo Collective
This summer, I’m opening up the studio for something super special: a private, Collective-only workshop focused on diving deeper into food photography—not just how to shoot a beautiful image, but how to build a meaningful visual story.
We’ll kick things off with a welcome dinner on Thursday evening (July 31) so we can finally meet in person, hang out, and settle in before the shooting starts.
From there, the weekend will be filled with creative challenges, styled shoots, and collaborative exercises that go beyond the basics. You’ll work on:
-
Assignments based on styling direction—just like a creative brief. Think: “shoot this cocktail with minimal styling, in a masculine aesthetic, using darker tones.” This is the kind of real-world direction you’ll often get from clients, and we’ll practice bringing it to life.
-
Creating a mini body of work around one subject (like a blog post or client gallery). For example, if your focus is granola, you might create an ingredient shot, a finished recipe, a lifestyle photo, a hand-in-frame moment—something cohesive and story-driven.
-
Incorporating human elements into your work—adding life, movement, or mood without it feeling staged or awkward.
-
A visit to the local farmers market on Saturday for prop inspiration and fresh ingredients (and maybe pastries).
-
Collaborative shooting assignments with a partner, because creative chemistry can spark big breakthroughs.
-
A chance to practice with artificial light
This won’t be a paint-by-numbers class. It’s designed for deeper creative exploration, intention, and storytelling—using food as the medium and photography as the voice. We'll go beyond "what looks good" and talk about what says something.
If there’s something specific you want to explore during our time together, I’d love to hear it. This is a space for growth, connection, and stretching those creative muscles in good company.
SPACE IS LIMITED.
OPEN ONLY TO COLLECTIVE MEMBERS.
Please note that workshop spots are non-refundable.
