You will also receive some refresher notes prior to the workshop from Jackie and some workshop notes to take away from the session.

For an additional $50, Jackie will host a second workshop from 11:30 – 12:30 on the business aspects of food photography. Learn about how to find clients (restaurants, stock imagery, magazines, on-line), prepare an estimate, prepare for a shoot and invoice. If you have specific questions you can email them to Jackie prior to the workshop and she’ll answer them during the class.

I am tempted to spend my baking school tuition in order to attend… but alas, I cannot. The workshop sounds amazing! (Sigh.)
we hope it goes well… if it does we would like nothing more than to be able to bring similar workshops to major centres across the country with local professional photographers. So stay tuned!
Wish I lived in BC. Hope it goes well.
Wish I was in Vancouver for this! Darn….
I would absolutely love to be able to attend but unfortunately I will be in Scotland. My Christmas present was actually a private photography lesson from Jackie and she is fantastic…. hopefully I can make it next time as there is always so much to learn!
I took my first food photography class with Jackie and I know she is fantastic. Definitely a great learning opportunity and I am really looking forward to her additional class on the business side of things!
Lyndsey – I hope your shooting is going well! And safe travels on your upcoming trip 🙂
I’m excited to meet more Vancouver foodies on the 30th!

I would absolutely love to attend this workshop! Unfortunately I work late the night before and there’s no way I’ll be able to get over to Vancouver that early in the morning:( Hopefully there will be another one in the future sometime.
Dang! I am out of town that weekend or else I’d definitely attend. Hope there are more inthe future!
ceecee
Will there be another one in the future? I would absolutely love to attend this but I don’t think I can squeeze it into my schedule on the 30th.
It was a good workshop. Loved to hear Jackie’s experience – that was the best part!
