One on One Workshop with Chef Dennis Littley
Yesterday I finished the first day of a two day workshop with Dennis Littley, a professional chef who has a blog dedicated to cooking. Dennis has a huge following, and is a talented chef and a skilled writer! His blog is packed with awesome recipes. Dennis took the workshop to gain a better understanding of lighting as it pertains to his own photography of food. As part of our first day of the workshop, I always do a demonstration of light painting, and today I created a composition of a beautiful mandarin orange and a pewter candlestick. Below is the result. Today we will do the post production of Dennis’ image, a lovely composition of tomatoes, garlic and a ceramic bottle. I’ll post the results of that image in the next few days.



Looks great! To me, the results of light painting never get old. Each image is unique and tells its own story.
Thanks Marek! I agree completely!
Thank you so much for your patience with me and sharing your wealth of knowledge! I can’t believe how much I was able to learn in just two days.
I had a great time and look forward to working with you again!
Cheers
Dennis
