You’re Invited To #Foodtography With the Food Gal and Craig Lee
Do you like to share your opinions about food? And photograph what you eat or cook?
Then, you’ll want to join me and award-winning food photographer Craig Lee when we host a workshop, “#Footography,” 7 p.m. April 25 at the Sunnyvale Public Library.
I’ll share the in’s and out’s of food writing these days — whether it be a simple post on Facebook or an in-depth magazine story or even writing a cookbook. Want to break into food writing? Learn what it takes, as well as the benefits and the pitfalls involved. Want to start your own food blog? Learn what that entails — the good, the bad and the crazy.
Craig, who for years was the main food photographer for the San Francisco Chronicle’s food section, will teach you how to compose, light and shoot better food photos — no matter if you’re using a camera phone or a DSLR.
Bring your questions, and sit back for an informative and delectable night.
And don’t forget that the library is putting together its own ebook, “Cooking Up Stories,” which will feature short stories and non-fiction pieces on the topics of food and cooking.
Submissions for the ebook are being accepted through June 30.

Sounds like a fun event! And so great that you two pros are sharing your knowledge. Food photography is tough, isn’t it? Most of us need to learn more. Certainly I do!
Darn, wish I could attend but so far out for me on a weeknight. You guys need to take it on the road and do a tour! 😉
Ben: Ooh, we should! We’ll be the Rolling Stones of #foodtography! 😉
Do we have to sign up to go see you and Craig? Or just show up at the scheduled time?
Rene: I believe you can just show up; you don’t have to RSVP ahead of time. Hope to see you there!
I wish I could be there for your foodtography workshop! I would love to learn more about food writing for my blog and of course gain knowledge about food photography. I live on Maui and haven’t seen such a workshop available. Would you like to visit us?!
Kiyo: Who wouldn’t want to go to Maui! I’ve been lucky enough to visit that gorgeous island a few times in recent years. So exciting to see how the food culture has really taken off there recently.
