What a great sounding conference. A lot of the great contemporary Food shooters were there. My first job as a photo assistant was with Jim Scherer in Boston. I loved his Boston Globe work, he’s so talented! I also remember meeting with Francine Zaslow. So inspiring.
I’m so glad I found your blog : )

Hi Lara – I stumbled upon this post while searching for some information on Christopher Hirsheimer’s camera equipment. I fell in love with her photos in David Tanis’ book “A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes”. Do you have any idea which camera she used to take the photos in that book? It looks like film. Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for doing a wrap up on this conference, for those of use who couldn’t make it! It’s great to have an insight into what went on.

The conference was so inspiring and overwhelming. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and photos. I signed up for the other Monday workshop so I was anxious to hear about the workshop at Zaslow’s studio. Sounds like it was great. Its a shame that both hands-on workshops were happening simultaneously.

I found out about the conference a couple of months ago and wish I could have gone. (Airfare from Utah was around $400+ at the time). Anyway, I am so glad for you that you were able to go. Of course, I am also glad for me because you are sharing such great information.

I just found your blog through Twitter, but had to say ‘hi’.

Lara,
Oh I pondered and pondered registering for this conference, and ended up deciding it would be too hectic to cram it in this year, but it’s already in my calendar to go next time it’s offered. And I’ve never been to Boston, so hopefully will be able to tack on a couple of days for exploring. So great to read your wrap-up, if you’ve got more, I will check back to read that too!

Hope all is well,
~ j

I’m ready to scream because I didn’t register for this conference. I had no idea it was going to be this valuable. Thanks for your thoughtful write up. It sounds like you guys had a blast.

I just found your blog thru Aran’s and I was so waiting for her to write up what went thru the conference.. This would have been something I’d dream about.. I am just an architect , but lately I fell in love with ” FOOD ARCHITECTURE” .. and it figures out to be food styling!

I have read every word you and Aran wrote about the conference.. and almost clicked every link. I am so passionate about this ,, only If I had the chances as you girls do. I live far away and all I can do is ONLINE readings and educating my self thru this!

Thank you so much for sharing Lara! this had made my day!

Hi Lara,

I’m brand new to the world of blogging and food photography so your post about this conference is really insightful. Thanks for taking the time to summarize the entire event, I can only imagine how inspirational it must have been to see so many beautiful shots and the new ideas it sparked off. I’m going to attempt your June remake challenge later this week and will keep Christopher/Melissa’s points in mind.

Looking forward to more posts!
Danielle
