We eat with our eyes first, so food photos need to be enticing and scroll-stopping with a quick glance in order to break through. In this session, experts will share best practices throughout the entire styling, photographing, and editing process using challenging-to-capture whole grain foods as a case study. Food photographer Kristin Tieg will share tips for food styling, composition and how to use props and lighting to present each dish in its most beautiful form. Cookbook author and social media expert Sharon Palmer will share her favorite tips, tools, and tricks for photographing food at home, while dining out, or while traveling. Graphic designer Alexis Evangelos will share tips for photo editing, and how the brightness, contrast, shadows, and coloring can be adjusted to optimize each photo using both mobile and desktop tools. At the end of the session, Caroline Sluyter of the Oldways Whole Grains Council will share how attendees can practice the food photography skills they learned throughout Whole Grains Month in September for a chance to win prizes.
