SAMSUNG PIXON 12 PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP & HANDS ON AT THE GARDEN SLUG

I was elated to receive an invite from Samsung for their very first  Samsung Pixon 12 food photography workshop . I had the opportunity to try Samsung Pixon 12  a few months back and i was impressed by the slim sleek phone with clear graphics and camera functions.

Lawrence explained the basic functions in a camera and the different effects that it would give. Lawrence also prepared some food, plates, cutlery and other props to demonstrate how to take good pictures of food.

Style composition of food is important to present a good picture. Lawrence mentioned that its always a good idea  to decorate the background with colorful serviettes, use a nice plate and place the food nicely for a great picture.
