About the final project for: Introduction to Commercial Food Photography

Introduction to Commercial Food Photography

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for accompanying me on this adventure. I hope you have learned a lot during this course and that it will be of great help to you so that you can get the most out of your camera and thus create unique photographs. Before I say goodbye, I'd like to show you an example of how I'd like to see your project: The story and the scene Make up a short story with the method I have taught you. I left you some ideas in the additional resources, but once again I invite you to let your imagination run wild and create your own story. Then choose the props that best help you represent the story you have created and set the scene.

The lighting Make sure the lighting you've decided on helps your storytelling and enhances the qualities of your dish.
The photo shoot Start the photo session and take as many as you want, even changing the shooting angle. When you feel that you have achieved the shot you were looking for, I recommend that you continue in a more "free" way for a few minutes, you would be surprised at the result of what you can achieve when you let go with the camera.
Photography Reveal your favorite photographs in one of the programs that I have taught you. Add any final details you deem necessary. Remember that it will be the small details that help you create a great photo.
As you carry out your project, don't forget to have fun in the process. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, keep in mind that it is the practice that makes the teacher and it is your mistakes that will give you the best lessons. I already want to see your story through your photographs! I'll be looking forward to seeing what you've accomplished. Share your project by clicking "Create your project". In addition to the photographs of each stage of the process, share a short text in which you talk about your experience in carrying it out. I will give you feedback as soon as possible. However, I ask you to be patient, as it may take a while for me to reply to you. While you wait, I invite you to exchange ideas and advice with the rest of your classmates. See you soon!”

I assure you that you will be surprised by the results. When choosing your dish, remember, it doesn't matter if it's something as simple as a yogurt with fruit, You don't even need to turn on the stove for your final project, now that, if your story and your soul ask you to bake a Christmas...”
