Get ready to dive into the world of food photography with Emma Dunham - learn to capture delicious dishes in a whole new light!
About this Event

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to style, shoot, and build it all yourself in this hands-on food photography masterclass like no other.

Working in small groups, you’ll design and create multiple food photography sets from scratch. From selecting surfaces and backdrops to lighting, styling, and composition, you’ll make creative decisions and craft each image as you go.

This session is perfect for photographers who want to practise real-world food photography techniques in a supportive, inspiring environment—and finally put all the pieces together.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Plan and build 3–4 visually distinct food scenes with your group
  • Choose and combine surfaces, backdrops, and props that work together
  • Use lighting (natural or artificial) to enhance texture and mood
  • Style dishes for different stories: rustic, modern, bold, minimal
  • Shoot with purpose—using angles and framing to elevate your composition
  • Work collaboratively (just like a real shoot!) and receive live feedback throughout

This is your chance to experiment, create, and walk away with styled portfolio-ready shots. All props, backdrops, and gear will be provided—just bring your camera, curiosity, and maybe an extra bag for the leftover cake… 🍰

Why Superclasses Are Unmissable:

  • Limited to just 15 delegates for an intimate, hands-on experience
  • Enhance your Convention experience with focused, practical learning
  • Perfect for photographers who want to build skills while creating real images
