Description
This series of six workshops can be enrolled as a six-week course, or booked and attended individually. While individual workshops may reference or build on topics discussed in previous workshops, each subject is still designed to stand alone.
Course schedule:
Week 1 – May 11th
PRODUCT PACKAGING
Modern product packaging presents the photographer with endless challenges. Embossing, metallic foils and other materials can drive a photographer crazy. A product photographer is a problem solver. Let’s learn how to deal with the challenges now before the stress of a shoot.
Week 2 – May 18th
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Want to have a fun time with reflections? Let’s shoot a toaster. Or a pop-corn popper. The chrome parts mixed with transparent sections can be problematic. Learning how to control the reflections is one of the most important lessons.
Week 3 – May 25th
BOTTLES & GLASSWARE
Alcohol, cold drinks, olive oil, salad dressings, exquisite crystal glassware. Bottle and glassware designs, colours and textures are as diverse and endless as the products that fill them. Let’s make a splash with this all this all-time favourite subject matter.
Week 4 – June 1st
COSMETICS & FRAGRANCES
One area of product photography that can become a specialty is cosmetics and fragrances. Small, shiny, difficult to photograph and demanding compositional challenges make shooting these a real challenge. Designers work hard to create products that stand out on the shelf. You must be able to photograph these in a way that makes them look exceptional.
Week 5 – June 8th
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
Cell Phones, tablets, Vapes, and other electronic consumer items are photographed every day. Whether for design firms, manufacturers, or advertising agencies, consumer electronics are a mainstay of commercial photographers.
Week 6 – June 15th
FOOD & CHOCOLATE
Whether it’s a steamy soup in a bowl, blue cheese on a platter, crisp fresh salad in a wrap or plump fruity pancakes in a stack, we all have to eat everyday and there is always food and sweets to be photographed. Here, colour, texture and atmosphere are vital. Let’s learn what it takes to make food look good.
