Natural Light, Natural Food: Food photography at Camont

Join a 3-day course and learn to style & take beautiful shots of food with renowned photographer Tim Clinch.

Using available light and glorious, seasonal Gascon produce, Tim - who shoots for magazines including House & Garden, Country Living, Architectural Digest and Food & Wine – demonstrates to a select group of students how to get the most out of what is in front of your lens: naturally.

Course details

We start at 9 in the morning on Friday for the first of three intensive day-long classes. Using reflectors and tripods instead of harsh electronic flash, you’ll learn how to cook and style food for a magazine photo shoot, blog or website including tips on story development and how to build portfolio content. All work is digital and you’ll learn how to upload and professionally correct your photographs daily with the most current software.

We work for 6 hours per day – breaking for a long French lunch cooked by Kate from the best seasonal Gascon produce! And of course, food photography isn’t only about recipes and ingredients. On Saturday, we’ll take you to our favorite farmers’ market to meet (and photograph) some of the artisanal food producers.

Price
