We all know the importance to business of good photography. Whilst we all have an element of professional photography in our marketing tools for more glossy advertising purposes, most of us will be using our own self-shot photography on a much more regular basis to keep our daily marketing going through social media.
That’s why we’re delighted to be hosting a Basic Food Photography and Instagram Course on Monday 27th November with Donna Crous. Donna is an award winning food photographer and cookbook author living in Jersey. Her imagery is beautiful, emotive and alive- we’d go as far as calling it ‘sexy’! She makes cake sexy!
We are incredibly excited about this course, because we can’t wait to do it ourselves and Donna seems to think we have the perfect conditions for a good shot!
“Full of natural sunlight, The Moorings really is the perfect place to come and hone your food photography and Instagram skills. During the day you will be given an introduction into how to take beautiful food pictures using your iPhone, you will also learn how to edit them and make them Instagram worthy. Food photography is incredibly specialised, and whether you are a chef, restaurant owner/manager, honesty box owner, blogger or just love food this is an amazing chance to really get to understand how to make your food sing for your Instagram.”
