We'll cover: - Plating, composition, and negative space - Prop styling and how to set a natural-looking scene - The stylist's tools they actually use the most, including common household objects - How to keep temperamental herbs, vegetables, and all kinds of dishes fresh and lively-looking...even tricky, time-sensitive items like drinks and ice cream - How to make even monochromatic and brown dishes like chicken look delicious! - How to capture it all with your iPhone and edit it so it’s Instagram-ready. We'll practice styling everything from still lifes and salads to pastas, challenging proteins, and desserts.
