Food Photography and Styling Workshop in Dubai, April 2012

Do you know that feeling when you’ve been working on a project and cannot wait to present it to everyone? Well this is one of those times and one of those projects.

Last year Sally Prosser and I got together to discuss a Food Photography and Styling workshop in Dubai. Sally told me about the fantastic food blogger group in the Emirates and I was really looking forward to meet them on my next visit. As we talked further we began plotting and planning - a workshop for the food bloggers interested in improving their skills in food photography and styling was in the making.

What can I say? We had a blast putting it together and I think we’ve done a pretty awesome job. We’ve put together a brilliant schedule in an absolutely stunning location - Nasimi Beach at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai.

Excited too?

So, here are the details:

When: Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th April
Where: Nasimi Beach, Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Your Instructor: Meeta K. Wolff
Your Host: Sally Prosser
Workshop Website

The workshop will be limited to only ten people so that each person receives the best
attention and guidance. The aim is to solve as many of your food photography and styling
problems as possible so you leave the workshop with the information and skills you need to create great food images. You'll be given the inspiration and the means to unleash your creativity allowing you to hone your skills. This workshop is ideally suited for food bloggers.

The course will cover basic and advanced food styling, presentation and photography from
choosing props to composition. Through comprehensive exercises, hands-on assignments,
a market visit and restaurant meals, I will address a variety of aspects of food
photography and styling. The hands-on approach means plenty of individual coaching and
one-to-one contact. All your questions can be answered, ideas can be shared and practical
experience gained in a relaxed, sociable environment.

Read through the full programme of the 2 day workshop over on the workshop page.

Nasimi Beach at the Atlantis, provides a gorgeous location to stimulate your imagination and creativity and a fun, relaxing environment for us to to get to know each other better. From a live cookery demonstration with the chef to sundowners on the palm-fringed beach, they’ll be two days of food and photography inspiration.

The workshop includes two days of intensive instruction on food photography and styling with me, lunch on both days, dinner on the first evening and all beverages throughout the sessions at the Atlantis and transport to and from the off-site assignment.

Sour Cream Maple Banana Cake

So what’s with bananas? I mean, is it on anyone’s list of favorite fruit? I’ve often wondered about this every time I walk past them stacked up in all their yellow glory in the supermarkets. They seem to sit there, waiting eagerly for shoppers to stop and pick up a bunch. On rare occasions do I see people actually picking them up and placing them in their carts.

With the holiday season well behind us and under our, slightly tighter belts, it’s time to tuck into January’s bountiful harvests. And January offers copious varieties of fresh and rich produce, waiting to be turned into cosy and comforting recipes.

Here we are - on the other side and well into the second week of a brand new year. January - is a month that gives me very mixed feelings. It’s a month that fills me up with contradictory thoughts and emotions. A month I very much look forward to in December but once here I cannot wait till it moves on.  

Retrospective 2011

2011 ….

… is it already time to say goodbye you? It seems like it was just a few days back I was saying Hello to you and looking forward to paint you with vivid colors. Now here I am again - same place, same time and looking forward to greeting another new year with the same eagerness and enthusiasm. But 2011 … you have been good to me.

The tree is not up yet. But that is no cause to stress. It’s rather amusing though to see others break out in a cold sweat as they rush around the city with blank stares on their faces. What is not amusing however is to be surrounded by so much aggressiveness. Whatever happened to the joyous spirit of Christmas?
