LONDON VIDEOGRAPHY & FOOD STYLING WORKSHOP 2025

After teaching two successful and (hopefully) inspiring videography and styling workshops these last few years, Silvia and I are back to host another London food styling, content creation and videography workshop this Spring!

Silvia and I have very different skill sets and strengths…

Silvia is known for her elevated videography that attracts higher end customers. She is drawn to dark and moodier story telling through videography and generously shares her knowledge in this area with students attending the workshop.

I love colourful foods and am an experienced food stylist in addition to being a food photographer with over a decade of experience. During the workshop, I’ll share my insights into working with light and creating captivating hooks that allow you to grow a loyal Instagram audience, as well as advanced food styling skills.

If you are a student attending the workshop you get to learn from us both and are thereby able to diversify your portfolio and content creation skills with elevated video captures, advanced food styling skills and more complex composition techniques.

So, if you’re an intermediate food photographer, are confident working with natural light and shooting in manual mode, but keen to up your game, then listen up!

On March 28th and 29th, 2024, we’ll be teaching you all we know about videography, food styling and visual story-telling through still and moving images, thereby helping you build a versatile and sought after food videography and photography portfolio. This is the only workshop we’re teaching together this year, so if this is what you need, do read on…
