New “Shooting Food” Online Class from Joe Glyda
We just had legendary food photography Joe Glyda down to the Kelby Training Online Studios for a new online class we’re releasing in the next few weeks on how to shoot food like a pro. I stopped by the set during the taping, and got to talk with Joe for a couple of minutes, and he gives us a little behind-the-scenes look into his upcoming online class. Check out the short video below for a quick preview.



















Nice!
My mother wants me to shoot the pictures for her own cookbook she wants to make. This will really help me get great pictures! Wow, I can’t wait!!!
you know Scott, food photography is amazing, actually really really cool BUT…there’s this other guy buy the name of, well, Joe, whom hasn’t had a new video up in a long while. Joe McNally you say? Why yes! That is who I’m talking about. I’m gonna throw some coins (real gold mind you) into the wishing well hoping for a few new McNally videos to go live soon. Is there any in the works???
Shooting food is a big part of my job so I’m looking forward to this one! Thanks for the preview Scott.
I appreciate how food shooting is a visual as well as culinary endeavor, having had to do it in college years ago…what you see is NOT what you would want to eat. LOL
An idea for a future blog (maybe guest blogger?) would be a makeup/stylist who works with photographers. Lots of serious amateurs would like to kick up their portraiture a notch, and the do’s and don’ts of makeup and styling tips as relates to photo appeal is a topic I’d like to see which augments success of photography. It would be a keeper for future reference as well…
Outstanding, can’t wait… so next level… thanks Scott
I’ve worked with Joe Glyda professionally for the past 9 years and he’s a wonderful photographer and extremely creative, as well as a great friend. Be sure to check out his video once it goes live. He’s a fantastic teacher and has taught me so much throughout the years.
Back in the day when I was assisting I remember working for photogs who got an occasional food assignment & how badly they would end up making the food look. It’s a real specialty kind of photography. One thing I learned if you don’t know how to shoot food, do yourself a huge favor and get a food stylist. I recall 1 time where we shot some Kraft food products and those snacks in a can may taste fine but wow they can be a challenge to photograph.
This is one I definitely want to see. Very cool.
Really looking forward to this!
At first I read the title as Shooting “for” Food LOL! Guess I’ve got lunch on the brain.
I love that you are finally getting some product photograph at Kebly Training. Food is good LOL!

Excellent! Can’t wait for its release.
I’ve been to Joe Glyda’s “How To Light For Shooting Food” sessions at the last three Photoshop Worlds and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only complaint is that it was too short!
Scott, please encourage Mr. Glyda to do a full day workshop at PSWorld and a book on food photography!
Well, Mr. Glyda certainly is legendary ! Understatement at best….. I hope to see a whole series based on food photography, and all the food “tricks” utilizing Joes knowledge and expertise. He’s the man…. what an outstanding instructor to have on board.
P.S. Be sure and post his out takes….. they will be priceless!!
I’m hungry!
I use LAB color for working with fruits and so. Nothing compared with it, as your Dan Margulis would say. I’m Kelbytraining member, many tahnks for your excellent videos.
By the way Scott. What about the next D400 in July? You are well informed, I think.
On the other hand congratulations for yhour excellent Tuscany pictures with a “simple” Nikon 5000.
Are people afraid to use the word ‘Photograph’ any more????? I was always told that you shoot people with a gun and you photograph people with a camera. Same with food I think I would rather photograph food rather then shoot it. Just my thought.
I’m no Glyda or McNally, but I’m using the Spiderlight 5 which Scott turned me on to here for shooting food. Click here for a look at how it works for me as well as some of the things I’ve learned about shooting food:

Dear Mr. Kelby
My post is not about shooting food, but making that one-page collage like that the house numbers from Barcelona and the Ferrari one from Tuscany.
I live out in the country, so I’m thinking of shooting various barn doors or mailboxes. I’m just not sure if I should shoot them straight on or on various angels or what. Do you have any pointers to help me out?
Thanks, Andrew George
Andrew remember that a camera has but one eye, We as humans have two eyes and can see the prespective as a result you as the photograher will have to indroduce that prespective to make the subject look attractive. AS you look through the camera do NOT just look at the subject but all around in the viewfinder. It depends on the subject so I can not tell at what angle. But try and experiment around. Don’t forget to try selective focus.
hello,your blog is interesting.
welcome to my page!
Since the newest Strobist Bootcamp II challenge is on shooting food, it would be a great time to release this. We are on a short deadline.
Can’t wait to see this video folks. When do you anticipate the release?
Cheers!
Bill
Hi Scott:
Any idea when “Shooting Food” by Joe Glyda will be released on Kelby Training Online Studios? Been looking forward to it for months!
Yes, I’ve really looking forward to this topic, too. I would be great to Lou Manna to do a food photography class, too.
