FOOD & PRODUCT WORKSHOPS 2025

The styling lab: Colour. Light. Texture

with Keren Dobia

Hands-On Instructional Experience for All Skill Levels
Join Keren Dobia for an immersive, hands-on Styling & Lighting Workshop designed to elevate your creative process and visual storytelling. Whether you’re a portrait, fashion, still life, or conceptual photographer—or simply someone looking to refine your visual voice—this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore the art of image creation beyond the lens.

Keren will guide you through the process of building visually striking images by focusing on:

  • Styling with Intention: Learn how to select and combine elements—objects, fabrics, props, and surfaces—based on colour palettes, textures, and composition to create harmonious and dynamic visuals.
  • Lighting Fundamentals: Using constant lighting, Keren will demonstrate how light can shape, sculpt, and transform a scene, giving you a clear and accessible way to understand light direction, intensity, and mood.
  • Visual Balance & Creativity: Discover how to construct images that are not just technically sound, but emotionally resonant and aesthetically compelling.

This workshop is not limited to skills for product or still life photography—it’s about learning to see and build creative imagery that reflects your vision, no matter your genre or experience level.

Expect a hands-on, collaborative environment where you’ll be encouraged to experiment, ask questions, and leave with practical tools to bring more depth, clarity, and artistry to your work.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to push your work further, this is a chance to learn to elevate your styling in a supportive and creative environment.
