Build the Set: Create Hands-On Food Photography with Multiple Styled Scenes

St Julien

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 the creative decisions and craft the images as you go.

This session is perfect for anyone who wants 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 play, experiment, and walk away with styled shots you can actually use in your portfolio. All props, backdrops, and gear will be provided—just bring your camera, curiosity, and maybe an extra bag for the leftover cake…

If you are looking for a more hands-on experience without having to fight the crowds, then Superclasses are for you.

Limited to just 15 delegates these informative and educational workshops will enhance your Convention experience.
