Description
A LIFETIME TO LEARN
MEET HÉLÈNE DUJARDIN
As far as she can remember, Hélène has always been involved with food and photography. Whether it was learning kitchen techniques from her grandmother or watching her brother capture the magical light of their native Provence in the South of France. A former pastry chef, now living in Charleston, South Carolina, Hélène’s photography reveals her passion for natural light, seasonal and fresh ingredients, as well as a love of travel and genuine interest in people.
DAY 1: MEET & GREET / PORTFOLIO REVIEW
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2011
Meet and greet with Hélène at the LightSpace studio in the historic Helm's Bakery Building in Culver City and get to know each other. Look over students portfolios and get familiar with the equipment to be used during the workshop. Talk about the benefits of working with an experienced stylist, working with a digital tech, as well as working with a rep to market your work and negotiate a contract in order to get the fairest possible deal. You’ll also get the chance to jump right in and start shooting with Hélène’s helpful and thoughtful guidance.
DAY 2: WORKSHOP (ON LOCATION)
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2011
Working on location can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Learn about how to prepare for time away from the studio by keeping yourself surrounded by the right people. You'll also learn about dealing with difficult clients as well as different scenarios that may come up as a result of working on location. It's all manageable and easy to overcome if you're prepared.
DAY 3: WORKSHOP (STUDIO)
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2011
Back to the LightSpace studio, you’ll wrap up shooting and then learn about the all important post production techniques that will insure a successful shoot. Everything from retouching to archiving to final delivery to the client — all of which are the tools essential to ongoing success. At the end of the day, you may walk away with an incredible portfolio piece or two that you’ll be able to use to market yourself as a professional food photographer.
