Food Styling | Lights, Camera, Props … letting the food talk #foodstyling #workshop #foodphotography

“Food photography philosophy is based on an organic approach: real food, beautiful ingredients & natural light”
Penny De Los Santos

Are you obsessed with good food pictures? Do you spend hours all day whiling your free time away hopping between Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr and numerous others photo sharing sites and blogs drooling over food pictures? If yes, then you are like me. My days are filled dreaming about and shooting food, my dreams filled with virtual shoots. They say it’s called an obsession! They also say it’s infectious!!

The more you play with the camera and light, the more addicted you get to it. This is the language of food, how a food picture talks to the viewer. Come join us for a food styling workshop where I share what I enjoy, how I shoot, how I play with light and angles. Also the use of props, or shooting with minimal props, keeping the star {food} in focus, backgrounds, tips I’ve learnt along the way. We also have a mentor, the very sweet Prasad @ Desi Traveler to touch on the basic principles of photography, the holy triangle! I virtually shoot on auto, with baby steps into the AV mode, so let the technicals not scare you. We’ll explore this very creative passion, shoot with you in your comfort zone to give you a heads up, help you frame, help you discover your personal style … that’s why the seats are limited.

Come join us at a Food Styling and Photography Workshop at the stunning Olive Qutub {seen above}.

This haveli restaurant, nestled under the Qutub Minar, remains one of my favourite spots to shoot in the NCR. Beautiful ambiance, great natural light, banyan trees, rustic setting, everything that inspires! Keeping us satiated will be Chef Sujan, hailed as one of the brightest stars in London’s culinary gamut after consecutive nominations for National Chef of the Year and London Chef of the Year. His food will make you happy, give you plenty of food for thought, and will help create delicious memories.

We’re happy to have I Say Organic and Urban Dazzle sending us some stuff to shoot for the workshop. Come join us for a day of fun, loads of banter, endless shooting, plenty of food, great ambiance and like minded folk! With only a few seats to go, you can find more information and sign up at Darter.in . Do drop me a mail at deebarajpal{@}gmail{dot}com if you need anything or have any questions etc. I’ll be happy to help.

DMBLGiT April 2015 … the winners #foodphotography #foodstyling

“Keep props tasteful and simple. Remember the food is the star!
Robin Zachary

Food photography and food styling are best friends forever. One cannot excel without the other, and it’s an endless learning experience. The net is never ceases to amaze, showcasing the vast talent that lies before us. Food blogs are an important contributors too, some who have inspired me endlessly for so many years. Does my blog look good in this {DMBLGiT} …. or this……maybe this … or this? Styling and shooting food is music to my ears, thoughts that fill my head all day long. Call it an obsession, call it wasteful pleasure, call it developing a skill set or hobby, even shooting for clients, shooting is what I like to do best. I could spend hours with the camera, just whiling my time away, clicking colours, angles, produce, cakes … anything food. These are simple pleasures in the life of a food blogger. Where else would you find such a large-hearted community that is brought together by pure food porn?

And that brings me in to announce the winners of the DMGLBiT {Does my blog look good in this} April 2015.
