Food Styling and Photography for Instagram

“Welcome to the "Final Project" section and thank you so much for taking this course with me. I hope that you enjoyed all our classes as much as I did! I am now going to show you how to share each step of your final project with the whole community. First of all, study the work of food photographers and food stylists you love. Get inspired by nature, restaurants, your surroundings and anything else that sparks joy. Note down what exactly you’re drawn to and what elements you can weave into your work! Then, plan your food shots and food styling sessions as much as possible with the use of a mood board.

Bring together foods, garnishes, props and backdrops with intention, always thinking of the colour wheel as well as the key food styling principles we covered. Prepare the set for your photoshoot, placing all the elements according to your style and the mood you want to convey. Photograph and edit your shots in Lightroom, using the editing techniques covered in the course for maximum impact. Lastly, share your work and let it reach as many people as possible by including engaging and inspiring captions! You can also use the hashtag #KimberlyEspinelDomestika on Instagram to share your photos with the whole world. You got this! I am so excited to see the food and the photos that you style on the forum and I’ll be sure to let you know my thoughts when I can, though please remember that I’m often busy with ongoing projects. It’s also really important to share your work with other students, friends and other artists as giving and receiving feedback is a great way of testing the impact of your work. So, don't forget to comment on other people's work on the forum and give constructive feedback to help them improve. Thank you so much again for taking the time to come on this course with me and I wish you all the best in everything!”
