Food Porn at Kitchen in the Market

Recently, I attended a Food Porn photography class at Kitchen In the Market. One of my goals is to constantly be improving my photography skills. I still get a little nervous around a camera, but little by little my confidence is growing. A basics class at National Camera helped increase my technical knowledge, and this class, well, this class was just lots of fun. Champagne, wine, great food and lots of photo taking-what's not to love?

The scene was set with appetizer trays loaded with veggies and quail eggs ready to be dipped in vodka, then in a variety of salts and spices. Being able to play with your food helped set the tone and encouraged play with your camera as well.

Plenty of water and wine were provide for snapping and sipping. 

We were also allowed and encouraged to wander into the working kitchen for more photo opportunities.

This bin of green caught my eye...

....as did the unfinished lunch of someone working in the kitchen.

The "main course" menu included polenta rounds with chutney and pork tenderloin.

take a bite, take a photo, take a bite, take a photo.

Our day was rounded out with dessert-lemon rosemary shortbread.

Apparently I was too busy eating them to take a photo of the final product.

Thanks to Amber, Stephanie, Kitchen in the Market, West Photo and our super chef for a fantastic day. Check Kitchen in the Market for current class offerings and a summer Food Porn series!
