Cameraland – InstaEats “Biting into the Basics of Food Photography”
Back to Blog |On the morning of Saturday 23 April, our rooftop was buzzing with the excited tones of photographers all levels, keen to learn a little something about food photography. Guests were handed delicious complimentary picnic baskets and some of the best wine the region has to offer courtesy of the wonderful folks at Hartenberg Wine Estate. We touched on topics such as styling, composition, working with existing lighting and how best to share your food photography via social media. Firm believers in a practical hands-on approach, everyone had an opportunity to snap and get some feedback before we spent the remainder of the morning enjoying the mouth-watering Hartenberg spread. This ‘taster’ session was a mere hint of what the Cameraland and InstaEats team has planned for the month of May!

We will be launching the more in-depth food photography course with a bang next month – 4 Saturday mornings, 4 courses, 2 of Cape Town’s most trendy eateries and only 15 spots available!
