Gorgeous pictures right? Well, one day soon I hope to be able to take pictures just as scrumptious as these.
Those pictures came from PhotoKitchen, a studio based in Manila specializing in food photography. When Dwight, one of the owners of PhotoKitchen emailed me if I wanted to join a food photography class run by 50 Feasts it didn’t take me 30 seconds to reply with a resounding YES.
Even though I’m just a food blogger and I do this as a hobby I still want to showcase the best pictures I can take. It’s a source of pride for me if someone leaves a comment on my pictures. I did take a photography class before but it was a general class about basic photography. I’ve always wanted to take a specialized class that focuses on food photography.

50 Feasts is a new food photography school room in San Juan and is run and owned by the same people behind PhotoKitchen. What I like about their classes are each class is limited to 6 people only. A small class guarantees close interaction with the teacher and more chances for hands on practice and critique.
They offer 3 kinds of classes. I’m enrolled in Basic Food Photography.
