Food Styling Workshop With Dolores Custer!

What a fantastic day! The fabulous Foodportunity crew put on another spectacular event at the Allrecipes.com headquarters in Seattle. It was the Expression Food Styling workshop with successful food stylist, Dolores Custer of Portland, Oregon.

I shot the event for the organizers, and it was wonderful to combine my two specialties: event photojournalism and food photography. Thanks to Keren Brown for asking me, and thanks to Charity Lynne Burggraaf for partnering with me with part of the day.

Huiyona Restaurant of Seattle provided a really wonderful lunch!

Here are some highlights from the workshop! All of the food shots were styled by workshop attendees. Fabulous work, people!

Lisa Yasmeen.

Here’s another session with the fabulous and talented Lisa Youk-Yasmeen. She’s not only a repeat client, but also a friend, and I just love photographing her. She’s an absolutely natural at modeling and has the most fabulous head-tilt EVER.

I love working with Lisa and am pleased to showcase some new work with her. Here are some of our favorites from the session we did last month! All photos were shot on location on or around Alki Beach in Seattle, and the Seattle Waterfront Marriott Hotel.

Good fun! Thanks for being such a fabulous model, Lisa!
