The Free Library is Hosting a Food Photography Class to Help Take Your Foodie Pics to the Next Level
Are you a food blogger looking to take your pics to the next level? Perhaps you own a restaurant or food truck and want to make your social media more appetizing? Either way if you love food and photography then the Free Library of Philadelphia (1901 Vine Street) is the place to be. Join the Culinary Literacy Center and Art Department in the sun-bathed Skyline Room on May 26th from 3-5 pm for an afternoon of Philly, food, and photos with local photographer Neal Santos. Learn the basics of food photography through technical skill and camera work, lighting, and some software combined with practical hands-on learning by building a still life.
You’ll walk away with an understanding of styling and prepwork, composition, lighting and post production and editing. We’ll be utilizing both natural and artificial light in a controlled setting, setting up stands and reflectors, and moving through building a charcuterie board still life together, to be photographed and enjoyed by all.
This event is open to artists of all ages and skill levels. Bring any camera or smart phone to capture your own images, and you’ll walk away with a stronger foundation in photography and a deeper appreciation of food, and food photography as a love language.
Tickets to this event are $15 and are available here. All proceeds from ticket sales go towards supporting the Culinary Literacy’s Center programs for youth, neighborhood engagement, and English language learning. Free tickets are available for SNAP-eligible families and for anyone who cannot afford the fee right now but would still like to participate.
