Why Choose THIS Workshop?
Real-World Experience in a Live Restaurant Setting
Step into the fast-paced world of restaurant photography. This workshop takes place in actual restaurants, providing you with hands-on experience in real environments. Learn to navigate the challenges of shooting in a working restaurant—this is the kind of training you can’t get from a textbook or YouTube video.
Master Artificial Lighting
Forget about relying on natural light. I focus on teaching you how to use strobes, flashes, and other artificial lighting techniques to create stunning images, no matter the setting. You’ll gain the confidence to light any scene, whether a beautifully plated dish or a bustling kitchen.
Post-Processing Excellence
This workshop doesn’t stop at capturing the perfect shot. We will dive deep into post-processing workflows, teaching you advanced color grading, retouching, and cataloging techniques. You'll leave with a portfolio-ready collection of images and the skills to refine your work to professional standards.
What You’ll Gain
Expert Instruction: Learn directly from Joseph Gonzalez, a seasoned Food & Beverage photographer with over 20 years of industry experience.
Small Class Sizes: With only 2-3 students per session, you’ll receive personalized, hands-on guidance tailored to your professional growth.
Portfolio-Worthy Images: Walk away with a collection of images that will elevate your portfolio and impress potential clients.
Continued Support: Schedule calls, receive discounts for future workshops and opportunities to shadow professional shoots.
Who is This Workshop For?
This workshop is NOT for beginners or casual photographers.
