Do you have a passion for both the culinary arts and photography? Bring both together in a single practice and discover how food photography can activate the senses. In this course, students will learn all the ins and outs of food photography in order to make viewers salivate. Through weekly shooting assignments, students will experiment with different types of foods as well as different moments in the process of preparing these delicacies. We will look at the work of professional masters of food photography and discuss what makes it look scrumptious. This course will also dive in on a do-it-yourself approach to lighting to make your plated food shine and glisten.

Throughout the course, students will develop a final project in which they photograph their family or personal recipes to develop into their own cookbook. We will discuss a variety of photographic moments in the process of building a cookbook, from step-by-step photography, mise en place, plated food, and environmental shots.
