Home, exhausted and appreciative. CreativeLive.
Four and a half months of planning with Creativelive came down to three days. Those three days were so lightening fast, it was hard to remember what happened even ten minutes prior. And to think that we considered to not partake in teaching because we didn’t think we could share anything different that hasn’t already been taught. Thankfully, we came to our senses. We all have our own unique perspectives. Even if something has been taught or said before, it can still be valuable to someone out there.
Friends, we’re finally back home, ready to un-pack and pack up again for another week long trip. But before we get caught up in the planning of heading out again, we just wanted to say two words to you and to everyone on the CreativeLive team:
THANK YOU.
Maybe that just wasn’t enough. Here’s more:
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL.
and more….
WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE NOW WITHOUT YOU.
and lastly….
ETERNALLY APPRECIATIVE FOR YOU ALL, OUR WORLD WIDE FAMILY.
much love,
diane and todd
Some instagram images @ToddPorter & @DianeCu from behind the scenes on the set of Creativelive:
The light in the Seattle location is incredible
We’ll never get bored of the Space Needle at sunset
On set the day before: the team is busy painting the classroom walls.
Diane brought some of her favorite props for the food images. Talk about a heavy carry-on!
more incredible light for the shooting segments
Jim made spring rolls for one of the pre-shows
… and he forgot to get the lettuce, so Diane made a quick emergency lettuce drop on air!
I cried at the end of your CreativrLive course’ up to that point I had completed several food photography courses on line, however, yours is by far the best, most personal and informative. Your interaction and mindfulness of each other’s comments is very pleasant and refreshing’ sometimes there is a slight tension between business partners who are also a couple but with, there was none such to be felt. Thank you for this beautiful site and the journey with you on-line.
Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to us and thanks for loving food photography as much as we do! hugs.
Enjoying the CreativeLive all over again on the rebroadcast. So nice.
It was a wonderful, wonderful course! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us on Creative Live. I have an editorial restaurant photo session this Friday and plan to use a lot of your tips for an effective shoot. Thanks again!
Watching your workshop was truly inspiring, you are both so talented and such great teachers. Diane I cried with you at the end, your passion shines through. Thanks for all the tips on how amateurs can make food photos look way better. It’s so awesome of you guys to have done that teaching session, I’m sure you touched so many people. Blessings and happy travels!
