Meet Your Instructors:
Andrew Scrivani, creative, director, author, coach, instructor and food photographer for the New York Times, is one of the most respected names in the business. He’s also a teacher of the craft, advising #foodporn obsessives, bloggers, photographers ready for the next step, and anyone who loves to shoot and eat, in how to take the greatest possible photos. His book That Photo Makes Me Hungry: Photographing Food for Fun & Profit will definitely make you hungry!
Celebrity cookie artist and Emmy award winning set and prop stylist, Dani Boglivi-Fiori, spent several seasons working on The Martha Stewart Show and appearing in segments as the show's "resident cookie expert" before pursuing her dream of owning her own cookie bakery and petite party studio. As Sweet Dani B, she spreads the love with the most incredible, edible cookie art as well as with her step-by-step workshops and cookie parties while documenting all of the delicious fun on her iPhone.
By the end of this class participants will:
- Understand how to compose and capture compelling images using their own mobile devices
- Learn techniques for natural and artificial lighting
- Develop storytelling skills through photography
- Enhance their photos using mobile editing tools
This class includes a box of 6 assorted SweetDaniB cookies to begin our photography lesson with. Next we will head out into Downtown Asbury Park to see what our foodie neighbors are up to and snap some photos along the way and in different locations.
This is a great class for people who envision the perfect photo but are having a hard time making that photo happen on their own. We will talk about composition and framing, lighting (natural and artificial), props, editing essentials, the best apps and answer all your questions! At the end of class we will review each students' best 2 or 3 photos and provide constructive feedback.
