Make it Look as Good as it Tastes

Help me give my students to create picture-perfect food photography during cooking labs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Williams's classroom raised $545

This project is fully funded

My Project

From plate to photo, a thoughtful presentation leads to a more enjoyable meal. Every picture has a story; I want students to tell a story with every picture they create. Students will take an array of delicious images to showcase the texture and maximize their dishes' aesthetic appeal.

From plate to photo, students will learn how to photograph food using different angles and techniques using any camera, phone, or tablet with a camera.

Students will learn to take creative food photographs using studio flash and backgrounds. Students will learn to pick the right background and change the lighting to get the perfect picture.

I want to challenge students to create images that stand out and draw people in through their jaw-dropping photos. Students will create beautiful and mouth-watering pictures of food.
