This live shoot will demonstrate food photography like you've never seen it before, covering everything from a barbecue grill to a "do it yourself" project to the the ever-popular flying salad! Joe has been working with food for over 35 years and he, along with a food stylist, will give you an insight into this incredible field of photography.

This presentation will cater to the artistic lighting technique of Lightpainting, which combines long exposure times with illumination from mobile light sources to create a unique photograph. This highly creative lighting style of image making is applicable in every genre of photography and is a useful skill for any photographer to have. Attendees will see multiple examples ranging from small tabletop imagery, to life size figure, to large-scale landscapes. This stylized lighting technique will be illustrated with a collection of my portfolio images and step-by-step procedures with commentary on how Lightpainting is executed.

My presentation is designed to inform, educate, and entertain. Attendees can become familiar with the topic by visiting my website tutorial articles on Lightpainting. Simply log on to www.daveblackphotography.com and click the Workshop at the Ranch page.
