For this workshop we will get very creative. We will have over 15 tables set up to help you sharpen your skills in tabletop photography and bring home some interesting shots for your portfolio.

What to bring:
Your camera with a lens like a 50mm prime lens, or a zoom lens that includes the 50mm focal length (like a 24-70mm). If you have one, a macro lens would also be fun to try. A tripod is recommended.
Smartphone cameras can also work very well on the still lifes that use natural or continuous lighting. So if you only have a smartphone, don’t be shy and come join us!
What you will learn:
