Life Is Similar A Bowl Of Mussels

On Saturday, I attended a photography workshop led past times acclaimed New York Times' nutrient photographer, Andrew Scrivani. I thoroughly enjoyed the class, as well as left enthused to demo off my novel skills. That was until I remembered my side past times side shipping service was a mussels recipe.

So what? Well, during the shape intro, Andrew did a slide demo to illustrate diverse keys concepts as well as strategies, as well as the bowl of mussels you lot run into below was used to demonstrate how a simple, eye-catching prop, similar a vintage fork, could assist depict the viewer’s attending away from less-than-attractive shellfish.

A brilliant ploy, as well as 1 I would convey implemented, except that my silverware drawer contains precisely zippo fancy shellfish forks. So, I decided instead to purpose the within of a mussel shell, equally an travail at just about nacreous misdirection. Did it work? You last the judge. 

Anyway, I’d similar to extend a big thank you lot to Andrew as well as the other attendees for a rattling enjoyable afternoon. Also to Contigo, a wonderful Castilian articulation hither inward San Francisco, for existence such peachy hosts. 

Here's a handful of my favorite pictures from the workshop. I promise you lot enjoy!

I dear this shot of Andrew showing my friend, Annelies, how to purpose a covert to accommodate for the vivid low-cal reflecting off bald people’s heads. This is a technique that volition serve me rattling good going forward.

If I e'er specialized inward 1 specific nutrient photography niche, it would last meatballs. Why? I really similar meatballs.

Does your oculus become to the world's most beautiful H2O ice cube, or to that horribly discolored radish? Was this a bold travail at textural juxtaposition,
or did I just forget to plough the radish over? I mean value nosotros all know the respond to that question.
This in all probability best encapsulates all the commutation elements nosotros discussed during the workshop; details, low-cal direction, props, movement, as well as telling a story. My alone regret is non having a footling drip of H2O coming off the tip of the root. Maybe if I convey fourth dimension later, I'll Photoshop 1 on. I'm certain Mr. Scrivani would convey no work amongst that.

This photograph provided my proudest minute of the workshop. It was 1 of the few shots I composed, equally I idea it'd last interesting to purpose the lines of the garlic peel to play off the grain of the wood.

When the photograph was shown later, my blogger buddy, Irvin, from Eat the Love, said he liked the shot because of how the garlic peel lines played off the grain of the wood. I just smiled appreciatively, but within I was like, "Yes! Yes! In your face, other attendees that didn't instruct similar comments!" Hey, at to the lowest degree I was outwardly classy.

This nigh sexy octopus skewer photograph is alright, but what I actually love, is how if you lot expect closely enough, you lot tin flame run into the entire universe inward that driblet of oil. I discovery that rattling relaxing.

If you lot desire to run into to a greater extent than of Andrew's fine work, you lot tin flame depository fiscal establishment agree out his blog, Making Lord's Day Sauce, or his photography website, Andrewscrivani.com, too equally follow him on Twitter. If you lot convey a endangerment to attend 1 of his workshops (like the 1 nosotros are doing together at this summer's IFBC inward Portland), I highly recommend it!
