Food Styling and Photography Conference in Boston, and more — Conférence de stylisme et photographie culinaire à Boston, entre-autres choses
How lucky am I?
Not only there is an International Conference on Food Styling and Photography held this weekend in Boston, from Friday June 1st to Monday June 4th, but I will be attending this fabulous four-day event — oh, I just cannot wait! Then, I will also be able to catch up with talented Lara for a few great days of fun! She and I are planning to be at Upstairs on the Square in Havard Square for drinks (and food?) on Sunday night, June 3d at 7 pm. We have a table reserved! If you are interested in joining, let me know (leave a comment). We look forward to meeting you!
You can check out the conference agenda if you like. I will do my best to take plenty of notes. Maybe I will see some of you there?


On a similar topic, I am also happy to, once more, have recently worked with the photographer Stretch Tuemmler and his fantastic team on a photo shoot where I was hired as the food stylist! Yeah! If you want to see what we did, check Stretch’s portfolio and look for the cheese platter pictures, in the New section. It is quite interesting and different to work with a whole team, including an art director from the advertisement agency guiding us — the photographer and stylist — to meet the client’s requirements! Quite different from working on one’s personal portfolio. Finally, I also finished a few photo shoots and recipe design for new clients. Can I say it? I am really enjoying this! Bring it on and may it continue!

The cheese platter looks exquisite, Bea. Congrats on the work, but it’s no surprise as you’re so talented. And I’m certain it will continue!

Oooh, I wish I could join you for drinks–that would be so much fun! I recently got to meet Lara, who is lovely (as you well know). I will be thinking of you two–and all the fun you’ll have together.
And many congratulations on your blossoming new career! I am delighted–though not surprised–to hear. You’ve got so much talent.

Why don’t I ever get to go to fun conferences like that… mine are all boring.
You probably even got to eat the displays!

How exciting, I can’t wait to hear more about the food styling conference. I don’t think we have such a thing in oz, so I am waiting with bated breath on what gems of knowledge you will come back with. Have fun!

Bravo pour tout ce que tu fais
Bonne journée

your styling is so lovely already, i wonder if there is really more the conference will learn from you?
i hope you have a wonderful time, and congrats on all the work that has recently come your way! beautiful job!
Comment by chanelle — On May, 31st, 2007 at 5:12 am
Dommage que je ne puisse pas assister à une telle conférence, je suis certaine que cela m’intéresserait beaucoup. Toujours autant d’harmonie dans tes photos…
Comment by b comme bon — On May, 31st, 2007 at 6:49 am
J’ai parcouru le site de Stretch Tuemmler. Les photos (de cuisine) sont très belles. Toutefois, j’ai trouvé beaucoup plus beau ailleurs… chez toi !
Je trouve que les photos de Tuemmler sont un peu plates, froides et, en quelque sorte, très masculines. Pour moi, elles manquent cruellement d’une touche fémine, malgré le travail de retouche entrepris, si j’ai bien compris, par Jenny Tuemmler. Tes photos, au contraire, sont très féminines, pleine d’amour et de générosité. Voilà. J’espère que Mr. Tuemmler ne m’en voudra pas de ces quelques critiques, un peu faciles peut-être…

Wow Bea - you’ve been busy - but in a good way! I love the cheese platter images - just gorgeous and enticing! I hope you enjoy the coming weekend, and wish you continued success in your photographic adventures!

Comment by Mercedes — On May, 31st, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Oh dear. Dare I say it?
Your shots are better. I say this as a very busy working food stylist.
Comment by Chris — On May, 31st, 2007 at 4:26 pm
Congratulations Bea! I’m sure much more of this is coming…your talent speaks for itself!

Comment by Gourmet — On June, 1st, 2007 at 2:14 am
Je ne suis qu’une amatrice en la matière, mais j’aime passionnément capturer et figer un “instant” de quelqu’un ou quelque chose. Participer à une telle conférence me comblerait et m’en apprendrait aussi beaucoup. Tes photos sont extraordinaires et en les admirant j’apprends déjà …!
Bien à toi

I saw this post before the conference, but I just remembered to ask you - how do you do all those measurements and alignments? They look complex but important to do. Do you do them for all your photos?

Lovely work, Beatrice. I will certainly ensure that I keep track of your creations!
