workshop: winter food styling

April 01, 2019 by Tiffany Lieu in photography

food photography and food stying have always been an interest of mine, but it’s also felt a bit daunting. i love cooking and taking photos, but wasn’t sure how to really tackle the two together. this weekend’s food styling workshop allowed me the chance to really dive in and learn from pros renée beaudoin and ashley rodriquez, and alongside other foodies, bloggers, photographers, and chefs.

when i first came across the course, it was completely sold out. luckily, a spot opened up just last week and I’m grateful it did, because it was absolutely amazing! the workshop took place over two days, four hours each day. i loved the entire process, even the most challenging moments. it pushed me to try new things and step out of my comfort zone.

below are some of my favorite photos from the weekend. we took all the photos at delancey, a restaurant right behind the pantry, which serves up the most amazing pizza by night and the dreamiest lighting for photographers by day.

andy and i have been wanting to try sawyer since it opened but, for some reason or another, hadn’t made it there. we were reminded of it earlier this week through a seattle times’ article on their james beard nomination for best new restaurant

Bateau is from Chef-owner Renee Erickson. We frequent her Ballard seafood inspired restaurant Walrus and the Carpenter, so we were excited to get our beef on at her steakhouse.

I cannot emphasize this enough, but I LOVE Pomeranians. I could not have dreamt up a more perfect dog. I’ve loved the breed for as long as I can remember and that affinity has followed me through adulthood.

I celebrated my 31st birthday in my favorite place on earth — new york city. birthdays are always a melancholy time for me. yet, the city always continues to surprise and delight me.

Not going to lie, it’s been a hard year. It’s felt challenging from the start, but it’s becoming more apparent as the year draws to a close.

I had the pleasure of capturing some of that PNW essence for the Le family this weekend —Washington natives and UW sweethearts with the sweetest camera lovin’ daughter.
