I’ve talked before about my lack of confidence in my food photography. I am a portrait photographer…shouldn’t inanimate objects be EASIER to photograph?? I have struggled with feeling good about my food photos and so I’ve been actively working on improving – I have been taking more pictures of food this year than anything else, so hopefully by this time next year, I’ll be able to confidently say that I am better.
In one week’s time, I will be attending Digital Family Summit in Baltimore. I had a blast last year and loved the family-focused atmosphere. I also happen to be good friends with many of the people involved in making the conference a success.
I am both excited and terrified to announce that next Saturday, I will be leading the Food blogging, styling and photography hands-on workshop at the Digital Family Summit, along side Robin Zachary, an amazingly talented (as in I drool over her pictures) stylist from New York. I spent over an hour Skyping with Robin today, and I feel like I have to potential to learn just as much from this experience as the people who participate in our workshop.
It is going to rock!
I just have to get over the anxiety and the stress of all that I need to do to get ready for our session. Wish me luck??
Of course, I will be sure to share information about our class and a few take-aways once I’m done (and can breathe again). Would YOU like to learn food photography? Until then…here’s a little food photography teaser. Roasted Tomato Salsa recipe is, of course, coming soon.
What have you been up to this week?
Note: I am not being paid to teach the workshop, but I am receiving complimentary passes for my family to attend the conference.

I have trouble in this area too….. food does seem to be difficult to capture…. it just sits there and waits for you to push the shutter, but in order for it to look delish everything has to be just perfect! I know you will figure it out and will rock at foodography!
Pardon my two entries this week, but along with my photo challenge photo fridays I had to add my sock rampage! Have a great weekend!
I love food photography! And if that picture you shared is anything to go by then there will be some fortunate people learning from you next week :-)
Are you kidding me? I’m so hungry now. I’ve got chips and salsa on the brain now. It’s too late for that. lol
I canNOT photograph food. It never looks good. Or like you should eat it. Or like you would even want to try. My hat is off to food photographers for SURE.
Have so much fun at the conference!!
Well, it looks beautiful…and delish! :)
