[food styling & photography anyone?]

i am an architect but i have always had other artistic leanings. make-up, styling, interior design, the list goes on. everything that will draw out all the creative juices in me, i get into. but if there's one thing that i haven't laid my hands on is photography. i have always thought of it as an "expensive" hobby. imagine, buying those dslr cams which somehow cost an arm and a leg! but when i began seeing the works of my college batchmates, ral & lambert, i somehow get green with envy because they are so talented! nature shots, portraits are common themes of photographers, professionals & hobbyists alike. what i really want to go into is food styling & food photography. i've seen beautiful shots in food mags & i want to someday do this since i've read somewhere that it pays well & there are still a few food stylists cum photographers around. i've browsed the internet for schedules of seminars but so far, nothing. does anyone know of a competent professional who holds seminars during weekends & the venue is in nearby ortigas or maybe within the vicinity of antipolo, cainta? =)

 

this book is from DELORES CLUSTER, an internationally known food stylist whose work has appeared in magazines, television, print advertising and feature films. she came here to hold  a seminar last november 2010 but i found the article about it a little too late so i missed the event. i wish there would be an upcoming seminar i can find & hopefully attend it.
