I would love to get more into food photography and this class peaks my interest. But after reading his requirements, I’m not sure I’m ready to take it. I feel like I don’t know enough about my camera and won’t be prepared. It’s very intimidating. What all do you need to know prior to signing up?

What a great opportunity to take a class from such a well known photographer! I thought you were pretty dang talented already… can’t wait to see more photos now!

Wow, this is so cool! I will have to get some mirrors & try this sometime. :) Your pictures are always so beautiful.

I used this to improve the lighting on my Vegan Citrus-Basil Cupcakes but I hadn't gotten the mirrors yet so I used a aluminum pie plate. It worked! Thanks for the tip!

I just bought Lou Manna’s book. I would love to attend one of his classes but I don’t own an SLR camera yet and it seems that is one of the requirements of attending his class.(besides taking a trip to NYC)

Thanks for the photo tips! My biggest problem is lighting and I am going to use your tips on my next photo. The photos on your blog are great!

What a huge difference.. The only mirror in my house is in the bathroom but that might change soon :)
Heard of Lou Manna when I was looking for a food photography book.

Thank you so much for sharing the tips you learned with us! I’d heard about using mirrors along with a reflector card to get the best light indoors, but never followed up on it. Now that I’ve seen how well it works, I’ll be accumulating a few in conjunction with my EGO light and card to see if I achieve a marked improvement on my photos. To think, like you mentioned above, all I cared about at first was getting ‘good enough’ photos that showed ‘just enough’. Now my main goal is much, much higher than that, and after perusing through many blogs, and spending quite a bit on a new camera and other equipment, I don’t want to settle for ‘eh’. I want ‘glorious’! :)

I’m so looking forward to trying this! Thank you SO much, again!

Facinating, I need to get to a Dollar store for some litle mirrors, now! I love the paper you’re shooting on too.

I work a couple blocks from Adorama and had no idea they taught classes. Thanks for letting me know! And nice to know I’m not the only one addicted to food photography. My boyfriend looks at me like I’m nuts when I set up a shot… haha.
