OK kiddies, I just wanted to share my excitement about this fantastic class I will be taking this coming Sunday in NYC.
Lou Manna, food photographer extraordinaire, has been running food photography workshops for years and I have been wanting to attend one for years. Well, finally, I can afford to take one. This Sunday I will be driving down to NYC, into the heart of Manhattan, to Lou’s studio to soak in his experience and check out his studio.
The screen shot below shows you a description of the class.
If you want to attend his next class, check out the Adorama workshop sign up page. The next class is on March 2, 2008 (sign up here).
I just can NOT wait! You know how when a little dog is so excited that it’s wagging tail whips it’s whole little body around? Yeah, thats how I am feeling.
I will post back with a report on my experience.
About Lou Manna:
Lou Manna’s award-winning photographs have appeared in national ad campaigns, major magazines and over thirty cookbooks. While working as a photojournalist for the New York Times, Lou developed a passion for food photography as he was creating appealing images to accompany reviews by noted food critic and cookbook author, Craig Claiborne. Lou went on to establish his own studio on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan where he has produced thousands of digital images while working with a wide range of major advertising, corporate and restaurant clients including Barilla, Kraft Foods, Marriott, Starbucks, Kellogg’s and Coca Cola. Honored to be one of an elite group of Olympus Visionary photographers, Lou recently authored Digital Food Photography, which is the only book on the art of food photography devoted exclusively to digital techniques: www.digitalfoodphotos.com
” by David Joachim and Andrew Schloss right now and I have to say I am LOVING this book. Will post review soon!

Very cool… So you go take the class, and we all benefit. I like that arrangement, though I’d love to get to NYC to take a class that like, too.

Indeed! You coming from where you are would make this class reallllly expensive :-/ …
I see other bloggers traveling across the country for food styling classes and it just boggles my mind at how they can afford all of that .. but I guess I am just not in the same tax bracket.

It sounds very fun, but truly Nika I think you could be teaching your own classes!

That’s great! I just picked up Lou’s Digital Food Photography book last week. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the class. I love visiting my friends in NYC. Now, I have another reason to schedule a trip.

Oh, yeah, you just reminded me .. maybe I should take my copy and be a goof and have it signed .. or maybe not .. I HATE looking like a goofy fan.
I talked with him on the phone and he is very down to earth, cant wait!

This is wonderful news. And, as always, I applaud all the work you do to help those of us who are novices. Thanks, Nika
