A Piece of Cake Presentation at VIVID
“A Piece of Cake” presentation was a special day where foodies, photographers and bloggers attended to learn photography tips and food styling tricks to produce delicious mouth watering images.
Pro Photographer and workshop facilitator Penelope Beveridge joined forces with Gastronomy’s owner and food stylist Miccal Cummins to share their wealth of knowledge on how to produce beautiful food images for publishing.
“A Piece of Cake” was part of the Sydney’s popular Vivid Festival which attracts visitors and tourists from Australia and overseas. Vivid is a light installation festival with many of our buildings lit up and where thousands of people flock to our harbour foreshores to watch the iconic Opera House animate with images and music and the Harbour Bridge lights up.
The workshop was presented to a booked out crpwd at the most beautiful location, the Overseas Passenger Terminal on Sydney Harbour, The Rocks.
Miccal and Penelope re-enacted an actual food photo shoot and went through the intricate process of capturing food for publications. They discussed the need for great lighting, understanding props and telling a visual story through your photos.
After the event all met back at the Momento Pro Stand for a glass of champagne and was served enormous orange blossom coconut cake made by Gastronomy. This is a great time which continued with lots of Q and As to Miccal and Penelope who advised how to produce your own cookbook. It was a fun day and lots of smiles as the entire presentation was filmed by Destination New South Wales.
Some of the ladies were eager to learn as much as they could as they want to create a family heirloom cookbook using their mums recipes.
