Jette Virdi Food Photography

Really enjoyed the food photography workshop with Jette; she is amazing. Very friendly, she offered some great basic tips and tricks, focusing on the use of your iPhone to take the pictures, she deep dived into how to style your photo, like how slight changes to the layout on the table or use of a shadow which transforms what would be either an ugly photo or at most, average looking to now being quite an awesome image.
Working with basic props, she showed how with a keen eye how adjustments can make the world of difference. She talked about how to make your photo tell a story which has stayed with me ever since, yes I still take the sloppy quick photo from time to time however when time is on my side, I have a new perspective and love getting a great shoot whether it be in a café, deli, restaurant, bar, etc.
The do’s and don’t of filters, ha ha… mostly don’t… Jetta spent time showing us how to use the photo settings like brightness and contrast to adjust therefore avoiding filters all to gather.
She was very pleasant with us however I can certainly see her perfectionist side coming out and see why she is so successful at what she does. Would highly recommend this and/​or love to again do another workshop in the future.
