10 Pics from WOAP Food WKSP | Murray Lloyd Photography

708 photos were analysed during the food photography workshop held at Ruth Pretty’s Springfield premises. As a part of Visa Wellington on a Plate, the event asked guests to photograph six dishes.

 The most photogenic food - Prawn Cocktails, Saffron Crepes, Honey and Lemon Marinated Smoked Salmon and of course the dessert - Little Orange Cakes with Chocolate Mousse, Poached Mandarins and Vanilla Ice Cream.

Of the two dishes which did not fare so well on looks (Olive and Parmesan Rugelach and Coq au Vin), this picture certainly got the biggest laugh.

Olive and Parmesan Rugelach.
