Montreal Food Photography Workshop With Andrew Scrivani

Food Photography Workshop

There are still a handful of tickets left for the Andrew Scrivani Food Photography Workshop we are hosting on October 23 at Le Westin in Montreal.  This 4 hour workshop runs from 10am - 2pm.  Andrew is the well known food photographer for the New York Times (you can read his full bio here) and in this hands on workshop you will learn the basics of natural lighting, composition, and styling.  Andrew will be assisted by Montreal food photographer, Tim Chin and Aimee Wimbush Bourque of Simple Bites to ensure that everyone gets lots of one on one instruction.  DSLRs are not required - bring whatever you are comfortable photographing with - it can be your phone or a point and shoot.

Tickets can be purchased here.  If you have already purchased a ticket to FBC2015, you may purchase the $150 ticket.  If you are not attending FBC2015, tickets are $300.  You do not need to be an FBC member to buy a ticket.

Looking For More Eyes On Your Blog Posts?

If you are looking for new ways to get more eyes on your blog posts, why not join our FBC Roundups/Social Shares and Giveaways forum on Facebook.  Every week day we have social share threads and once a week we do a call out on a specific theme for our FBC Pinterest boards and our weekend links posts.  And we'll also use this forum to source out FBC member posts to share in our new Food Lovers newsletter that will go out twice a month.

5000 Instagram Followers = 1500 Meals

FBC Weekly News for July 29 | Food Bloggers of Canada

Last week we hit a new milestone with the FBC Instagram account: 5000 followers! We decided that we wanted to mark that milestone with a $500 donation on behalf of all FBC members to Food Banks Canada.  A cash donation can go a long way with your local food bank and a $500 donation equates to 1500 meals!

All of us are lucky to have enough food to eat, let alone having the privilege to photograph it and post it. Many are not as fortunate.  Everyone associates the December holidays with food banks and donations but they need help year-round.  That's why we wanted to try and make a small difference in the lives of our fellow Canadians and encourage others to think of making a small difference in whatever way they see fit.
