This week London social media week included Food Photography workshop with food photographer David Griffen. Organised by Great British Chefs, this event took place last night at the striking Google building at St Giles High Street, London. I attended the last workshop back in February and I learn quite a bit, so I was eager to learn more from David. All pictures below were taken with my iphone 4S. We started the evening by tasting delectable and creative canapes by Pascal Aussignac’s from Michelin star restaurant Club Gascon. Moving on to David’s workshop and then putting all his tips and tricks into practice, the best thing was the subjects were three delicious Michelin star dishes.
