Product Photography and Styling Workshop – Cape Town

Product Photography and Styling Workshop Saturday 23 August 2025 |  Cape Town

I am pleased to confirm that I will be hosting a new Product Photography and Styling Workshop in collaboration with the exceptional Kalinka Lombard.

Kalinka is an accomplished art director and props stylist specialising in international & local TV commercials and still productions. Known throughout the industry for her meticulous attention to detail and on set problem solving skills, she’s also a pleasure to work with. Our successful collaborations on multiple shoots for prestigious clients like Lavazza Middle East and Rust en Vrede Wine Estate have created the perfect foundation for this workshop.

Together, we bring complementary expertise to the table. While my background centres on food, beverage, and interior photography, Kalinka’s diverse experience spans beauty, fashion and décor styling alongside food and beverage work. We believe this unique collaboration means we can share our knowledge and practical experience across multiple subjects.

What You Will Learn

Our Product Photography and Styling Workshop covers essential topics including our creative process and philosophy, understanding briefs, mood board creation, current industry trends, and prop sourcing tips. Kalinka will reveal the contents of her styling toolkit, while I will share some practical Lightroom and Photoshop editing techniques.

Hands On Practice

We’ll demonstrate two complete styling and shooting setups: a larger product shoot featuring a wine bottle and a smaller beauty product arrangement. Following these demonstrations, you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with our curated selection of props and backgrounds, styling and shooting your own compositions with our guidance and feedback.

Photographer : Riehan Bakkes

Who Should Attend

This workshop is perfect for photographers looking to branch out into product photography, small business owners wanting to elevate their product imagery, marketing professionals seeking hands-on styling skills, and creative entrepreneurs and social media managers who need to photograph their own products and improve their visual content quality. Whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn the fundamentals of product photography or an intermediate photographer ready to refine your styling techniques, we aim to share our insights from our experiences as industry professionals.
