JAIPUR Food Photography Workshop 3 – 7 October

May 9, 2017 by Rakhee

FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY  + FABRIC DYEING WORKSHOP

DATES
October 3 – 7

WHERE
JAIPUR, India. We are staying in a 5-star resort in the most beautiful scenery. Accommodation and meals are included. The rooms are very luxurious. Some meals are cooked by us, others are provided on site and consist of the finest and freshest food this bountiful area has to offer.

ABOUT
A 5-day food photography workshop, where Rakhee will share her knowledge on technical skills, styling, social media, creative writing, and Adobe Lightroom. There will also be an opportunity to talk 1-on-1 with us about your goals and ambitions concerning food photograpy, styling, blogging (+ editing) etc. Aside from the learning, we will also harvest, cook, gather, enjoy each other’s company and have an amazing time in this beautiful country.

 

Join Rakhee, for a 5 day (4 nights) workshop in Jaipur, INDIA.

Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India. It is rich in history and was founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amer after whom the city is named. Jaipur is also known as the Pink City of India. In 1853 when the Prince of Wales visited Jaipur the whole city was painted pink to welcome him during the regime of Sawai Ram Singh. Today avenues remain painted in pink provide a distinctive appearance to the city.
Jaipur is also very very close to the capital of India, New Delhi and forms a part of the west Golden Triangle tourist circuit along with Agra. It is a popular tourist destination in India because of its colorful aspect, spices, jewellery and amazing forts showing off its magnificent history.

In this perfect setting learn the tips and tricks in basic Food Photography and Styling but also witness and be part of the hustle bustle of India.

We will be staying at a luxury hotel situated away from the usual chaos that defines India! The Resort is one of the best resorts in Jaipur that offer you the best there is. We will also be staying on a shared basis.

Classes + activities:

Theory of photography – We will talk about the basic camera settings. By the end of the workshop you will know everything about ISO, aperture, shutter speed, composition, lenses, full frame vs. cropped frame, white balance and much more. On top of that, you will know how to use this knowledge to your advantage and become your camera’s best friend.

Styling practical – For this class we learn by doing. Rakhee will show you how we go about styling and creating a food story. She will demonstrate how to create moody settings which beautifully contrasts the bright colors of food. We will also show you how you could do light pictures. All dependant on the style you choose. We will also show you how to purposely use props, and what negative space does with your photography.

Fabric dyeing – We will spend one day learning about fabric dyeing and block printing which is famous for this region. A perfect day also to practice the human interest photography.

How to use Adobe Lightroom – A sit down session where we talk about editing your photos and how to create a personal preset to give your images that consistent look and feel.

Talk about social media –  In this session we talk about growing a community on Instagram and Pinterest, talk about developing a style, the use of hashtags, dealing with the algorithms, how to go about sponsored posts, collaborations, balancing creativity & business,

Welcome dinner – On the first day after a long trip, you will be offered a lovely dinner. Long tables, a home-cooked meal by Rakhee, candle light, and good company!

DETAILS

  • Workshop will cover: basic camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO and their effects on the image. Lenses and their focal lengths, manipulation of natural lighting, food styling and plating, and post production in Adobe Lightroom.
    The nearest airport is in Jaipur city and is the Jaipur International Airport. However when booking flights this can be an expensive option. I highly recommend checking out flights to New Delhi (capital of India). A domestic flight from New Delhi to Jaipur is not only under an hour but these flights are dirt cheap. This is an option I myself prefer and will be using on my own trip.

Garlic is a precious and loved spice in my kitchen Garlic is a precious and loved spice in my kitchen. My kid actually digs her nose to savor its aroma when I cook with it. Indian food wouldn't be what it is for me without it. And what a ton of health benefits. Our ancestors knew their stuff. See my stories for some benefits that worked for me.

It's been a while and so many of you have been so It's been a while and so many of you have been so kind to constantly ask me what's up. I think I owe you all some answers. My health has been up and down. Don't know if it's serious or not yet 😊 and an existential crisis continues. Well to be fair I've been in one for 30 years 🤣.
I've missed being here (the honest connections) and then again not (the intense superficiality). At my age the competition is too much (been there done that) and the blatant discrimination too much to handle. 
At the crux of it all I think I failed because I couldn't keep up.
Right now I'm charging up... it's taking the longest... must be my old bones needing all that power!
.
I spend my time cooking old favorites though, for people in my life that just don't want anything else haha. So here is a plum galette because they are in season and so delicious. I made it few days ago and it was gone the same day. 💕
.
So here's me saying hello again and a thank you for sticking with me.

Much love - Rakhee
