Our Food Photography Retreat in Florence, Italy – Day 3

On the third and final day of our food photography retreat in Tuscany, I woke up first of all. When I realized the weather was clear and the sun was just rising, I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped the first photo of the day from my bedroom window (top left photo). Then I tiptoed down to the kitchen to make some strong black tea for me and Carolina who joined shortly after. She’s also an early riser and was just about to head out for a run. Sneaking around the property snapping pictures of the morning light and drinking several cups of tea alone or with Carolina in the kitchen is how I spent every morning at the retreat. That first, quiet hour was so important to me in order to manage our busy schedule for the rest of the days.

Our Food Photography Retreat in Florence, Italy – Day 2

On the second day at our food photography retreat in the wonderful villa of La Quercia Estate outside of Florence, Italy, we woke up to clouds heavy with rain. In other words, perfect light for moody food photography! Veronica had prepared a day full of cooking classes in her studio kitchen, and she also invited us into her private home to browse through old treasures while sipping espresso and keeping her company as she baked a savory zucchini cake.

Q & A part 4 – on photo editing & camera equipment

I almost forgot to post the forth and last part of my q&a series, on camera equipment and photo editing! So sorry for the delay, but better late than never ;-) I get so many questions on how I edit my photos, and in my answers below I’ve tried to be as specific as possible.

I am completely self taught in photo editing and have found my own ways of producing certain moods and effects that I consider to be ”my style”. Please note that this is not a complete step-by-step guide where I take you through my full editing process, but rather an overview of some of my favorite tools and methods. Think of it as a peek inside my process more than a ”how to”. Among other things, I share my first 5 steps of editing a food photograph, which mobile apps I use and how I’ve taught myself photo editing. Let’s dive in!

Btw I’m ditching Freelance Monday today in favor for this post.

Our Food Photography Retreat in Florence, Italy – Day 1

It’s only been two weeks since I got back from our food photography retreat in Italy, but looking at these images makes me itch for doing something similar again. Preferably as soon as possible! In early January, Tania & Maria from EaTravel reached out to me and asked if I wanted to come hang out with them + a bunch of talented food bloggers at a gorgeous villa in Tuscany. They promised good food, stunning photography opportunities and brainstorming on possible future collaborations. Who can say no to that? Besides, one of my New Years Goals was to treat myself to a food photography retreat, only I didn’t expect that wish to come true so quickly!
