My only photography training was an elective in college which sent me into the darkroom for hours on end. I feel like I’ve improved a lot since then through practice—owing almost completely to this blog.
But it felt like the time was right for some instruction—some mentoring: As I mentioned, we were in New York because I’d signed myself up for a food styling and photography workshop.
Aran Goyoaga is a food stylist and photographer based in Seattle, and the creator of the blog Cannelle Et Vanille. Aron’s cousin actually sent us her cookbook, Small Plates and Sweet Treats: My Family’s Journey to Gluten-Free Cooking a few years ago (she’s a friend of his) and wondered if we’d seen her work. (I had and it’s beautiful!)
I suppose it would have made sense to wait until she was teaching in her Seattle studio (she’s in Portugal next) but it was a nice excuse to visit New York—and to once again step inside the gorgeous space that’s home to Karen Mordechai’s Sunday Suppers.
I thought I’d share some of my favorite dishes and photos from the workshop…
P.S. The Sunday Suppers cookbook is beyond beautiful (I finally bought it, though it’s been on my wishlist a while). Also, details about our camera in the FAQ.
Also, more on my Instagram feed.
