Description
Drinks are some of the hardest subjects in food photography to get right — and some of the easiest to end up looking dated. Condensation that looks like an afterthought. Pours that look staged. Fizz that’s gone flat by the time you press the shutter. Even worse than this, styling, photographic and lighting trends that are dated.
This digital online workshop pairs commercial photographer Scott Choucino with top food stylist Eliza Baird to teach you both sides of the shot: how to style drinks so they look alive, and how to light and photograph them in a way that feels current — not like it’s been lifted from a 2015 stock library.
Eliza will be sharing styling techniques she’s never taught publicly before that you wont find anywhere else online — the real working methods behind the current looks for condensation, the fizz, the pours and the textures that make a drink shot believable and up to date. Scott will cover the photography side: how to light and set up for each of these effects so your camera actually captures what Eliza’s hands are doing.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll shoot six set-ups covering the situations that come up again and again in real client work:
Can — condensation, chill and clean product presentation
Gen Z Drinks — controlling texture and float
Fizzy drink — capturing bubbles and carbonation that read as fresh and current
Cream into coffee — timing and styling a pour for a natural swirl avoiding split liquids
Modern beer shot — head, clarity and light in a contemporary style avoiding dated lighting and styling techniques
Modern drinks pour — a dynamic, current take on the classic pour shot
You’ll leave with techniques for both styling and shooting drinks that you can apply well beyond these six examples — plus tips from Eliza that simply aren’t available anywhere else.
This is a presale. The digital download goes live on 25th September.
