We’ll be setting up under a shady tree in the garden of Cynthia’s 1840′s heritage farmhouse, with it’s vegetable, herb and flower gardens.
Experience a commercial photography shoot scenario which will include second (garden) and third (covered porch) sets, where Christopher will demonstrate finding best angles for capturing images of food (using professional equipment as well as using your own cameras, receiving tutorials from the team). Participants are strongly recommended to bring a tripod.
