Food styling + photography + Portrait workshop

 

Join Eva, Carey, Izy Hossack from Top with Cinnamon, and Elenore Bendel Zahn from Earthsprout for a 4-day lake house retreat on the shores of Lake Koppan deep in the Swedish forest. The workshop takes place in a traditional red and white home respective of the homes in the Lammhult area of southern Sweden. We'll have our own private dock to the lake and a small boat to explore with, as well as a wooden steam room to relax in once the sun goes down. The workshop will cover photography, plating, and styling with a special emphasis on portraits of people with food. All lodging and meals are included in the workshop.

Participants will arrive in Lammhult the evening of Saturday July 4th for a farm to table dinner. The following day will begin with photography lessons and continue with hands on shooting and portrait techniques. Monday will include hands-on styling, as well as a walk around the lake for outdoor photography. Tuesday will begin with a post processing demonstration of Adobe Lightroom and more hands on styling, shooting, and portrait work. Wednesday we'll conclude the workshop with a refreshing farewell breakfast and participants will depart by 10 am.

The nearest major airports and train stations are in Vaxjo, with flights and trains running regularly between Stockholm and Vaxjo.
