Improving for Steemit: Food photography workshop. (Photo album)
Hello, Steemers!
I have done and been able to obtain so many things that I feel good about myself and I want others to feel the same, not only having money income in Steemit to pay bills, but also understanding that it's about improving as human been and as a community. Money is the main reason, but there is also something extra that is gained while enjoying and doing things well.
One of the things I did for myself this week is to advance professionally as a chef taking a basic photography workshop and I look forward to sharing what I have learned in all these years of my career, with a nice presentation.
After the theoretical talk, the activity continued with the sample of how to put together a professional studio and how to create a homemade photography studio. And finally some photography practices using cell phones, domestic cameras and professional cameras. In the previous photo the example of the homemade photography studio is shown and how some of my mates took their photos with their devices.
The perfect opportunity to learn the most relevant in food photography.
An excellent investment for those who love the art of culinary photography and wish to improve the presentation and photographs of their dishes or products. Achieve a beautiful image using the tools we have on hand every day, from the cell phone through a tablet to a digital camera.
Robert Barry.
We took several pictures of some dishes that were prepared in the workshop, using haute cuisine techniques. The presentations and portions were designed for a 5-course tasting menu. Not all my photos were successful, but I'll show you some that I liked, despite the bad shots. I used my first digital camera that I bought with my first SBD a month ago: Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W620, 14.1MP, Optical Zoom 5x, ISO Automatic, f 3.2-6.5.

That day was fantastic! I met very nice and kind people, many of them with very cool projects. The irony is, we are all chefs or gastronomy enthusiasts and we ended up having pizza in lunch in a popular franchise, hahaha. I'm not a photographer and I don't know anything about photography, but in this workshop it was incredible to enter this world and achieve what I've always wanted, show my talent in the kitchen.

Tasty! I want to get in to cooking more. I'm not a chef (although I have worked in kitchens in the past) but I want to get a bit more creative and dedicate a bit more time to it. I tend to go for convenience, it would be good to improve a bit in that area… perhaps I need to go to a workshop myself ;). Good job!
Hey @dcardozo25, great looking food, but I'm not too sure about the snails on the rock :). I usually end the day with a pizza as well ;). I know it's said in these parts, "Come for the money and stay for the people", my version is "Come for the cryptos and stay for the serendipity". Thank you my friend.
It's not snail, lol. Is a little fish with a swordfish's form, it looks like a belt. And that quote is pretty nice! :D
Ooh good job! I love that you took a workshop to do this. I should do that cause these look pretty darn good especially with the different angles. Good job.
Yes! I loved! Above all for trying to reach my goals to get out of my comfort zone, this workshop has helped me to advance enough on it. <3
Comida! I love comida, my favorite being *arroz con habichuala y chuletas. Not to big on the fancy food, but it is okay I guess.
It's really okay, sargento. We love to eat chuletas ahumadas, arroz y coleslaw a lot in Venezuela! Maybe I can cook the fancy way of those dishes. lol
Awesome
excelente amigo! un abrazo

This was a really enjoyable article, @dcardozo25, and I learned a few tips, too! But now I'm starving to eat some of that amazing looking food. I can't believe you guys went and had pizza. Didn't anyone eat any of the photography models? I'm crying just thinking about all of that yummy food going uneaten.
I've upvoted and resteemed this article as one of my daily post promotions for the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. It will be featured in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 01 FEB 2018.
Cheers!
This workshop was amazing, the tips were so usefull than I never imagine we can do those amazing photos with only papers, box, good lighting and a cellphone!
Those dishes was so smallers, we were never gonna be full with that ammount, lol. But still some of us tasted those dishes because it will be so mean to drop those beautiful foods into trash.
Thanks for reading and consider my post to the curation trail. I'm a huge supporter of your project!
I really appreciate your support of my curation trail project, @dcardozo25! Those pictures really looked great for just those simple things you used for taking them. I love getting the chance to participate in a workshop like that. Keep on cooking, and don't forget to take some pictures to build your portfolio, and write more articles with.
Cheers!
