Food photography with Dr. Leslie at Fukuichi

Last Saturday I had the chance to attend a food photography workshop organized by Canon and Dr. Leslie Tay who is behind the famous blog ieatishootipost. It was a fun and engaging session in which Dr. Tay shared with us many useful tips and advices on how to achieve higher quality more salivating images.

A little background knowledge of the venue: Fukuichi Japanese Dining located on the second floor of Somerset TripleOne, is a joint partnership of Fukuichi Gyogyo (福一漁業) of Shizuoka, Japan and Chun Cheng Fishery of Singapore. With fisheries in Japan as its core business, most of their ingredients are shipped directly from Tsykiji Market to Singapore. By elimilating the middlemen, much is saved along the way and the savings are then allowed to be passed on to the consumer end.

Reward for the day

Participants were each treated to a delightful bento set at the end of the event. The Kani Tofu was what I enjoyed the most - cold tofu laden with crab meat was dressed in a unique sauce of century egg.
