If you want to take your photography to the next level where you are using more than ambient light, where you are using strobes, then professional food photographer Lou Manna can be your gentle guide.
As I mentioned previously, you can register for this course through Workshops@Adorama . The next class, Digital Food Photography: Creating Delectable Images , is on March 2, 2008 – a Sunday, 10am to 5 pm. It is held at his studio at 126 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District, one block from Adorama.
Lou is simply fantastic. He is not rote in his approach, rather, he makes you feel like he really cares if you get what he is teaching you. The moment you walk in the door you immediately feel welcomed. He has teamed food carving pictures up with another food photographer who is also a chef, Dennis, who cooks lunch and the food for the shots later in the day.
I had the misfortune to take a NY State garden parkway that was icy and wholly untreated. My car did donuts, floating in circles, rammed backwards up against a stone wall and came to rest facing traffic in the left lane (no breakdown lane on the left, just me and on coming traffic and an icy frictionless road). Two other vans swerved to miss me and flew into the guard rail, totaling food carving pictures them both. No one was hurt and my car started up so I was able to get out of the left lane and keep the pile up from continuing.
The first thing we did was pop our CD roms with our sample photos into one of the seemingly endless number of computers in Lou’s loft. In fact, we were surrounded by this fantastic mixture of technology, photographic studio equipment, food styling supplies, and century old NYC loft architecture. It was a bit dizzying!
It was great to see what other people food carving pictures were doing, such a great breadth of experience. We then took a break to grab some of the delicious lunch that Dennis had made for us (and which made the loft smell amazing all day).
We then got to see some of Lou’s huge body of work that spans all of the sorts of food photography that you can imagine. He does the most luminous, cheerful, bright, vibrant work. Toward the end of this we began to talk about the mechanics of how various images were shot. This was the segway to the next activity, setting up the lighting and related food carving pictures studio stuff to take great food photography!
The image above shows some wine bottles that he was shooting. When working with liquid filled glass, you have to work really hard to make sure that the reflections and internal refractions and shapes all turn out pleasing in your photo. He would put up mirrors, meter light, put up dark forms, vellums, adjust lights, all the while taking test shots which we would see on a tethered giant HD flat screen TV.
When it came time for us to do some food shots, I did a tiny bit of styling and then shot a bit but my hands were still shaking from the accident (adrenalin can really kill your dexterity) so it was sort of hard, much harder than I usually find when at home.
If you are not interested in the use of strobe, some of this may not be for you. If you want to master food photography food carving pictures and bring consistency to your work, the hallmark of professional photography, then use this workshop to enter the path to harnessing food carving pictures those pesky photons!

I think that this was a great experience for you. I would take the bait on this one as soon as I am good enough to have a few photos purchased. Your style is inspiring food carving pictures and I love checking out your web site. I will be on the look out for the space to do the bbq photo for class soon. diane
This was great! I took the workshop on February food carving pictures 2nd and it was awesome to see the shots of Dennis cooking and Lou walking everyone thru the process. It was Deja Vu!! I would HIGHLY recommend this workshop as well. I learned a lot and my photos have really improved from what I learned from Lou AND Dennis.
Love the pictures!
