During Aran Goyoaga's Food Styling workshop, I gained a whole new appreciation for food. I learned many things, not only about food styling, but the creative process of turning simple food into a work of art.
The biggest take home messages for me were:
- If you want to shoot with natural light, find your light first. Everything else should revolve around this.
- Create moments in time, don't just capture the finished product.
- Use only the best, freshest ingredients. Shop seasonally and locally sourced food.
- Create a prop library and table top options.
