Before choosing a camera angle\, lighting setup\, or styling approach\, you need to know where and how the photographs will be used. A restaurant menu\, advertising campaign\, social media post\, packaging\, and editorial feature can each require a different approach. When you understand the intended use first\, you can make better decisions throughout the shoot. As a result\, you spend less time creating photographs that may look good but don’t accomplish what the client actually needs. \nCamera angle and lighting should serve the food\, the client\, and the final use of the photograph. Different dishes photograph better from different perspectives\, so there isn’t one camera angle or lighting setup that works for everything. Instead\, the photographer needs to quickly recognize which choices make the food appealing while supporting the client’s brand and marketing goals. For example\, the best approach for showing the layers of a hamburger may be very different from photographing a carefully arranged entrée. Making those decisions intentionally helps create stronger images while also keeping the photography moving efficiently. \nSpeed in food photography comes from preparation and knowing which decisions actually matter. Working quickly doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or simply rushing through the photography. Instead\, experience helps you recognize which choices will materially improve the finished image and which ones won’t. In addition\, an efficient capture-to-delivery workflow reduces unnecessary steps after the photography is complete. When preparation\, creative decision-making\, and workflow work together\, you can produce consistent\, high-quality food photography efficiently without losing sight of what the client hired you to accomplish.

An effective profile gives Google and prospective clients clear information about who you are\, what you offer\, and where you serve. Categories\, services\, business information\, photographs\, and other profile elements all contribute to how the business appears in Google Search and Maps. More importantly\, they help potential customers quickly decide whether the business fits what they need. Simply claiming a profile isn’t enough. The goal is to make the information complete\, relevant\, and useful so greater visibility has an opportunity to become new business. \nVisibility becomes more valuable when your Google Business Profile also builds trust. Accurate information\, quality photographs\, customer reviews\, and a consistent presence can reinforce that a business is established and credible. In addition\, reviews provide potential customers with evidence from people who have already worked with you. Keeping information consistent also reduces uncertainty and makes it easier for someone to take the next step. As a result\, businesses that actively manage their profiles can create an advantage over competitors who neglect theirs. \nEffective Google Business Profile optimization doesn’t need to become another overwhelming marketing chore. Instead\, focus on the activities that provide the greatest value and develop a manageable system for keeping the profile useful and current. Search continues to evolve\, particularly as AI changes how people discover and evaluate businesses online. However\, the fundamentals remain valuable: provide accurate information\, demonstrate credibility\, answer the questions prospective customers have\, and make it easy for them to understand what you do. A well-maintained profile supports those goals while helping both Google and potential customers better understand your business.

Photographers spend considerable time improving websites\, posting on social media\, and creating new work\, yet potential clients are often turning to Google when they’re ready to hire someone. This presentation looks at practical ways to improve your profile so your photography business has a better opportunity to appear\, get noticed\, and ultimately get chosen. We’ll also look at Google’s role as AI changes how people search and ask whether it still deserves your marketing attention. \nCome learn which Google Business Profile strategies are actually worth your time. We’ll explore ways to improve visibility\, strengthen trust\, generate better reviews\, and give potential clients more reasons to choose you over another photographer. Rather than trying to use every available feature\, we’ll concentrate on the areas that can create a meaningful competitive advantage. You’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply to your own photography business instead of another complicated marketing system to maintain. \nBring your questions and your own Google Business Profile so you can start thinking about improvements while we’re together. Whether your profile has been neglected\, you’re unsure whether it’s properly optimized\, or you simply want more value from it\, this presentation is designed to help you identify worthwhile opportunities. Most importantly\, the goal is to make Google Business Profile marketing more understandable and manageable so it becomes a useful part of your overall marketing rather than another item on your to-do list.

The emphasis is on making clear decisions that support consistency\, efficiency\, and reliable real-world results. \nPre-planning covers client goals\, usage restrictions\, scheduling constraints\, and the realities of the space. We’ll look at how communication\, weather\, and timing shape creative outcomes and reduce friction on site. \nWe’ll explore how to evaluate space and light\, choose camera positions and perspectives\, manage verticals and distortion\, and establish dependable camera settings. Common challenges such as mixed lighting\, dynamic range\, reflections\, time pressure\, and spatial limitations are addressed with practical strategies that support speed and consistency. \nPost-production ties the process together. We’ll discuss organizing\, processing\, and refining files efficiently while preserving architectural accuracy\, color integrity\, and visual clarity\, building repeatable systems that support predictable\, sustainable production. \nParticipants leave with clear frameworks they can apply immediately.

Participants actively shoot throughout the day while building and refining multiple sets\, working collaboratively in small teams to mirror real-world production environments. \nStyling begins with what the chef or client presents — a three-dimensional experience of flavor\, texture\, and intention — and is translated into a two-dimensional visual language that remains dimensional\, appetizing\, and honest. Participants learn to interpret that intent and control structure\, shine\, moisture\, freshness\, scale\, and composition so images communicate clearly and consistently on camera. Lighting strategy and camera choices are then integrated to support the visual story while maintaining efficient\, repeatable workflow. \nThe workshop also addresses client communication\, expectation management\, shot planning\, time management\, and effective on-set collaboration\, reinforcing how clear communication and aligned expectations directly impact creative success. \nThis is not a passive lecture. Expect to work\, experiment\, problem-solve\, collaborate\, and refine your instincts throughout the day with direct guidance and real-time feedback. \nParticipants leave with sharper visual judgment\, stronger technical confidence\, and practical tools they can apply immediately. \nBring your camera\, your curiosity\, and a willingness to engage the process. The food will misbehave. That’s part of the learning — and part of the fun.

A dedicated camera may offer more capabilities\, but it doesn’t help when it’s sitting at home. In contrast\, your smartphone is usually within reach when an interesting moment\, great light\, or unexpected subject appears. Learning to use it intentionally gives you another creative tool for photographing family\, travel\, everyday life\, and the moments between planned photography outings. \nGood photography still depends more on the photographer than the camera. Composition\, lighting\, perspective\, timing\, and understanding what you want to communicate remain important regardless of the equipment. For example\, changing your position or camera angle can often improve a photograph more than relying on automatic settings. The same photography fundamentals you use with a traditional camera also apply to the smartphone in your pocket. \nSmartphone apps and creative tools provide even more opportunities to improve and enjoy your photography. You can capture\, edit\, organize\, and share photographs without moving to a computer. In addition\, experimenting with different techniques can help you better understand both the capabilities and limitations of your smartphone camera. The goal isn’t to replace your traditional camera. Instead\, it’s to make better photographs with the camera you already have with you.

We spend most of our lives viewing the world from three to six feet off the ground while sitting or standing. Likewise\, most beginning photographers shoot from these exact same heights because that is the easiest to shoot from by hand or tripod. If you want to photograph a unique image of animals or children\, you are quickly taught to photograph them at eye level\, and if you want to push creativity\, shoot from the ground\, looking up. And this same principle can be applied to any subject smaller than us. \nOnly in recent years have we been able to go in the other direction easily. While early photographers did photograph from balloons\, and I can’t tell you how many photos I’ve taken from a tall painter’s pole\, it has been with the advent of drones that things have become accessible to the general photographer. While it is much easier\, it is still new enough that photographers are exploring this viewpoint in new and exciting ways. The news photographer’s competitions are being swept by them. \nWe’ll review various exceptional images to inspire you and then discuss how you can step into this new exploration while being safe and hopefully not breaking the law.

When was the last time you Googled something? How can you do business without a website that no one can find? You know the answer. Search engine optimization (SEO) is all about getting you not only closer to the top but also making it much more enticing to click on. \nThere is pay-for-click (PPC) or you can sweat to get your clicks (organic SEO). We will be focusing on the one that takes time and effort instead of money – sound good to you? It might\, but your rewards will be directly related to the amount of sweat you produce. This is a workshop where you will be working\, so roll up your sleeves\, bring your laptop\, computer\, or tablet and be prepared to participate. We will be going deep and at the end of the workshop\, you’ll already be well on your way or further along your path in getting more customers. You’ll understand what it is\, why you need it\, and leave already having done a lot of the work and having a checklist of what you should do next. This isn’t for those who are easily mystified\, this is for those who want results. \n“Can I just say ‘WOW’?  I am extremely impressed with Colby’s presentation on SEO. He IS on top of the game and knows his stuff. SEO is a subject that seemed way over my head but Colby shared a ton of knowledge and quite a few coveted secrets he has developed from years of his own research and experience in a clear\, concise\, and understandable way. It was truly valuable. Thank you so much\, Colby. I have already started to implement what I learned.” –Donna L. \nTickets will be on sale as the date gets closer.

They have long and involved discussions on gear all the time. Can you imagine painters talking more about their brushes than their artwork? The conversation hopefully evolves to technique\, which is very important as well. Unfortunately\, you can have the best equipment and use the exceptional technique to create the most uninspired and boring images possible\, while children who use cell phones every day and don’t even know how to hold the thing create works of art. \n\n\n\nI’m not saying photographers should stop talking about cameras and techniques\, but they should also start talking about the images. This can be daunting because feelings can get hurt\, so it must be done with empathy. It takes experience to interpret the feelings that you are having and formulate words around those feelings. Finally\, it takes dedication to force yourself to experience images in a new way\, but the rewards are exceptional. Instead of spending more money on gear\, instead of learning technically how to photograph more effectively\, you have the opportunity to develop a skill that will lead to more impactful images that make your and the viewers’ heart sing. I think there is nothing better to spend your time on than learning to look at images with a critical eye.  I would appreciate your posting below if you plan to come or if you have any comments afterward. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Lightroom Image Submission Form\n \n \n LinkedInThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n I give permission and understand that by submitting my images that they may or may not be critiqued live at a event.

Bring your cellphone and be prepared to be photographed. We’ll pair into couples and work on posing each other through a systematic approach that uses the tried-and-true cornerstones of posing. We will start with a facial analysis of the subject to find their best side and the classic facial poses\, then move on to a taste of essential lighting and then finish with some classic poses.\n\nIn the second hour\, we will be reviewing how your LeConte club asks you to judge photos. Bring your glasses\, a pencil\, and a willingness to have an opinion. We will be judging images as a group using your system. It is not the only way to judge a photo\, but it breaks it into a coherent approach.\n\nPlease come willing to participate as it will be a lot more fun and more likely to stick. Those who usually have a lot to say\, please be prepared to be concise. If you don’t usually say much\, please stretch yourself and speak up. I’ll try to make room for you to have a voice.
