I hope you all had a lovely Easter! I have two exciting announcements today! First - spring has finally come to London and I couldn't be happier, second - I will be teaching a food photography & lifestyle workshop with my friend and photographer Joanna Yee in London at the end on May. We will also have a food stylist and writer Olia Hercules joining us and sharing some of her secrets.

Join us for a creative & inspired one-day photography & styling workshop in London’s Shoreditch. Using the beautiful space at Lyle’s we’ll cover our approach to food & lifestyle photography including:

Olia Hercules, Leith’s trained chef, food writer and stylist, will also be providing practical tips on food styling and demonstration.
