4. What is the schedule for the day?
The Workshop starts with lecture in the morning, followed by hands on activity and a critique session to cap the day’s events. There will be lunch and snacks in between sessions.

5. Will I get to shoot?
Yes, the hands on activity will be a mini food photography shoot. There will be around 10 plates that will be served for shooting purposes. These 10 plates will be broken down into two sessions. Watch out for the 2nd session, this will be fun!

There will be a critique session where the head chef of the restaurant and instructor will evaluate the quality of the photo. Each participant will submit two best photos of each dish they will shoot and these will be critiqued.
There can also be a Q&A portion if there will be more than enough time left.

7. Do I need to bring a DSLR? What else do I have to bring?
Yes, a DSLR is still the best choice for a camera, but this workshop is also point and shoot friendly. Point and shooters are welcome! We require a digital camera because the photos will be submitted at the end of the workshop. You may bring other film cameras as secondary cameras but you may only use them once everyone has finished taking photos with more than enough time to spare.

Kindly also bring the following:
· IR/radio trigger if your camera does not have a sync cord adapter.
· Other camera accessories – you will have a chance to use them.
· Writing materials. Handouts will be provided for, but most of the time the lecture is participant-based and spontaneous so it’s best if you have materials to jot down notes.
