Just a quick post to share some news and events that I’ve stumbled upon in the past week or so:
Photoshop World, April 2-4 in Orlando, has several talks of interest to budding food photographers, including a live Still Life shoot with Jim DiVitale, Joe Glyda’s talk on the best lighting techniques for food shoots, Joe McNally giving some insights into shooting for major magazines. For more information, see the Photoshop World website.
Lighting and Food Photography by Matt Armendariz on the Aperture Forums with plenty of Matt’s gorgeous photos as examples, plus some how-to diagrams.
Shooting in a vegetable patch for Martha.
Barilla is sponsoring an “Italian Table” photo contest as part of their recent release of a downloadable celebrity cookbook. Submit your best photo of your table all decked out for a pasta feast, and you could win a goodie basket of Barilla products and be entered into a drawing for $500 gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma.

I think I need to move to the states! There seems to be very little in London, if anyone lives in the UK snd knows of any talks etc please post them!
Not sure why but it’s listed as such but I actually wrote the article listed on the Aperture Forums and provided the photography as well. Thanks!
Matt - that sucks. You should totally get credit for that! I’ll change my post here so it is clear! (and thanks for letting me know).
Layla - I’ll keep my eye out for stuff your way… I find that there is very little anywhere… you have to keep your eyes open or they sneak by you.
Oh no, it’s cool, but thank you! Changing it isn’t necessary at this point, I was just sayin
Do u have to pay to read matt’s article?
Hey Jim,
Weird. It worked fine for me before, but now when I go to the link, it asks me to sign in as well… it seems they must have moved the article.
Matt,
We learn a lot about food photography seeing your work.
I tried several times to acess the aperture forum, but it’s impossible to do it.
Pleasze post the photos and light diagrams in other places.
We thanks so much in advence.
Best regards,
Manda
