"photo courses" news and stories

For all you budding foodporn snappers - how about a holiday (sorry, vacation) in Tuscany taking pics of food.

Still Life With... alerted us to the details - 5 nights and 4 days at il Bareto, in the hills, 14 kilometers southwest of Siena. Each day a different aspect of food photography and cooking is covered. The course is run by Ignacio Urquiza (aka Nacho) is an established photographer, and has published over 60 books, including several award winning cookbooks. They have been running photography workshops since 2003. Just look at the superb photos in the brochure, if you end up taking pictures as good as these it has to be money well spent.

Sadly I wont be going. The cost is just too much for a lowly scribbler. The week costs $2950 not including flight.
