Mastering Food Photography Workshop [EARLY BIRD PRICING]

$247.00 $397.00

Learn to capture food photography like a professional in one afternoon.

For years, my work has revolved around restaurants, chefs, and cameras — chasing that feeling of photographing food in a way that makes people stop and feel something. It took nearly a decade of trial, error, and persistence before I found the techniques that consistently worked. My goal with this workshop is to help you shortcut that process.

Join me for a three-hour, in-person workshop at Albertine in Uptown Charlotte where you’ll learn the exact tools, lighting setups, styling tricks, and editing workflows I use every day with hospitality brands.

What you’ll learn:

  • Choosing the right gear, from iPhone to pro camera setups

  • The must-have food photography angles for restaurants and publications

  • How to work with both natural and artificial light

  • Simple styling tricks to instantly elevate a dish

  • A fast, repeatable editing workflow

  • Real-world practice photographing a chef’s dishes in-restaurant

After the workshop, you’re welcome to stay for light bites and a drink at Albertine, continuing the conversation in one of Charlotte’s most beautiful dining rooms.
