Description
Level up your social media, attract more customers, and learn how to photograph your food like a pro—using just your smartphone.
Are you a food truck owner, cottage baker, or local food creator tired of your photos not doing your delicious food justice? Join us for an interactive, beginner-friendly food photography workshop hosted right at The Trailer Park in Lebanon!
This isn't a long, dry lecture—it’s a hands-on, bring-your-own-food (BYOF) workshop where you’ll learn the exact tricks to make your menu items look irresistible online. You’ll leave with practical skills you can use immediately, plus a take-home kit to keep your photos looking clean and professional at home or in the truck.
What You’ll Learn
The Magic of Natural Light: How to use outdoor and ambient light to make food pop, plus how to bounce and shape light using simple reflector boards to kill harsh shadows.
Choosing Your Best Angles: Master the 45-degree hero shot, the flat-lay (overhead), and eye-level styling to highlight texture, layers, and height.
Composition Essentials: Easy framing rules (like the Rule of Thirds) and styling hacks that turn a basic dish into a scroll-stopping photo.
Phone Settings Demystified: Simple camera tweaks, focus locks, and exposure adjustments that make your raw shots instantly better.
What’s Included in Your Ticket
Your Own Take-Home Starter Kit: Every ticket includes a little kit to take home so you can start implementing what you've learned ASAP!
Live Instruction & Demonstration: Watch real-time styling and shooting techniques in action.
1-on-1 Hands-On Coaching: Get direct guidance, phone setting tweaks, and styling feedback as you shoot your own items during the dedicated practice session.
What to Bring
Your Smartphone: Fully charged!
Your Food (BYOF): Bring 1–2 signature dishes, baked goods, packaged treats, or drinks you want to shoot.
Props (Optional): Any small branded elements, napkins, or utensils you like to include in your visual style.
