INTRODUCTION
Join me for an immersive three-day experience where I'll guide you through my exclusive masterclasses on food styling, photography, and postproduction. Held in the cozy setting of my Scandinavian home and studio in Aarhus – Denmark's second-largest city, acclaimed as the happiest city in the country and the second happiest in the world – this unique classroom-based learning journey promises a blend of creativity, skill-building, and behind the scenes insights.
Our mornings commence at 10 AM, welcoming you with a delightful spread of coffee or tea, freshly squeezed juice, and delectable pastries. This relaxed introduction allows us to connect and dive into the day's agenda. The classes unfold seamlessly, with a break for a sumptuous lunch, ensuring you stay energized and inspired. Our sessions wrap up at 4 PM, leaving you with newfound knowledge and a refined set of skills.
Drawing from my extensive experience as a cookbook creator – having captured captivating food images for my 18 bestselling cookbooks and various magazine features – I demystify the process of achieving stunning results with minimal equipment and space. Contrary to popular belief, creating awe-inspiring images doesn't require an extravagant studio setup; it's about mastering creative control and understanding the nuances of lighting.
In this transformative 3-day live masterclass, I unveil my closely guarded tips and tricks, empowering you to produce visually stunning images whether you're at home or on the move. From styling stellar dishes to capturing mouthwatering food photos, I guide you through the process of elevating your shots from "GOOD" to "WOW" during postproduction.
Don't miss this opportunity to unlock the secrets behind creating visually captivating food imagery. Join me on this exciting journey of culinary artistry and photography master.
