RECAP: LONDON FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY, FOOD STYLING & VIDEOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 2024
RECAP: LONDON FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY, FOOD STYLING & VIDEOGRAPHY WORKSHOP 2024

As food photographers, food bloggers and food content creators now is the time to broaden your skill set, explore creativity beyond photography and take videography seriously! That’s because, not only has the social media landscape changed dramatically since the pandemic requiring you to post more versatile content on your own channels, but brands now also want and need food photos and short form video content when working with food content creators like you. The good news is that this means that more collaboration opportunities for those who can deliver on all fronts, await!

So with this in mind and having seen our own client requests for content expand, my co-teacher Silvia and I knew we wanted to once again share our knowledge about how to create better and more engaging food content in our 2-day in-person London food styling, food photography and short form videography workshop!

This past weekend I had the absolute honour to be invited on a PR trip to the stunning 5 star Vineyard Hotel and Spa in Berkshire, UK. Having generally shied away from hotel and travel collaborations for most of my career as a food photographer and content creator, 2024 felt like the right time to take the leap and try something new! And I’m delighted that I did and that I challenged myself and said yes to this wonderful opportunity….

HOW I TRANSFORMED A SMALL ROOM INTO A HOME OFFICE & PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO
HOW I TRANSFORMED A SMALL ROOM INTO A HOME OFFICE & PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO

The way we live and work has completely changed over the last decade! Whereas before, going into an office from 9-5 was common place, now more and more people - myself included - are working from home full time. In part this is due to the pandemic and the seismic shift it brought about in the workplace. However it is also because with the rise of social media, many more people have had the opportunity to build small creative businesses and work for themselves at home.
