ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING BOOT CAMP
FOR FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

Stop chasing the sun all over your house and finally learn how to use artificial light!
December 7th and 8th, Culver City (Los Angeles Area) California

Do any of these sound familiar?

You are rushing home to get your food photos done before the sun sets.
As you are taking pictures, it looks like the color in your images is shifting, a lot.
As you are shooting, it's getting darker and darker, and your food now looks awful.

When you don’t know how to use artificial light, you are a slave to the sun. It will dictate when and where you can take food photos.

Natural light is shifting and moving all day long, and so are the clouds. This will make your White Balance go all over the place in seconds.

It takes time to capture some images, so you are losing light every minute of your photo shoot when you use natural light.

Artificial Light Bootcamp 2019

What if you could...

… take pictures when ever you want, day or night without worrying about the color shifting, OR without worrying about losing sunlight???

How much stress would that alleviate for you with your photo shoots?

“Thank you for being so generous with information!!! It is rare when professionals actually know how to teach. It was a breath of fresh air. There are a lot of classes out there of very talented people supplementing their income by teaching, and bless their hearts, they don’t have the words to convey their craft in an understandable way. Not only was Christina easy to understand but had the patience of Job when bombarded with questions.”

Frequently Asked Questions

This workshop will be at a beautiful photography studio at the Helms Bakery Building in Culver City, CA. Students will receive the address when they enroll for the course.

LAX is the closest airport.

The studio is about 7 miles from LAX, however with traffic it can take over 45 minutes to get there. If you are staying in Culver City, you could use Uber or Lyft very easily to come to the event. Email Christina with more questions at cp@foodphotographyblog.com.

No, they aren’t. You need to cover your transportation and hotel costs. Christina would be more than happy to give you suggestions if you are coming from out of town. 

Each day you will get a continental breakfast and a catered lunch. Dinners are on your own.

If you are really struggling with figuring out your camera, it will probably be best to take Christina’s Food Photography 101 course that she has instead. We will not be going over the foundations of food photography in this bootcamp. We will heavily discuss lighting so you should have an understanding of F-stops, shutter speeds, ISO and white balance.

Absolutely, if you have your own speedlights that work with your camera, Christina can show you some easy lighting setups you can do with those. 

Christina will already have three setups each day with each set having its own type of light.

Please bring your camera, all your lenses, and your laptop if you want to shoot tethered. 

If you do plan on shooting tethered – you MUST have either adobe lightroom, or Capture One Pro already installed on your laptop. 

With this bootcamp, we are very lucky to have a food stylist work with us! Kara will be making our set ups as I am doing the demonstrations each morning. You will see how we work together while I show you how to use the artificial lights. 

Then in the afternoon, you will get to photograph the set ups as well. 

This way, you don’t have to worry about the food – we are just focusing on the lighting.

“Great space and hospitality. Fun, casual, no stress or snobbery about it. Christina made it accessible.”
