Photographing Community in Motion

Led by photographer Jonathan Cooper, and Red Rice Books, this hands-on workshop invites participants to learn how to capture the beauty, intimacy, and power of people gathering and eating together. Grounded in the belief that shared meals tell our truest community stories, the session focuses on photographing food in context—hands passing plates and tradition, conversations mid-laugh, folks teaching, friends lingering and laughing at the table. Participants will explore practical techniques for documenting gatherings respectfully and authentically while honoring food as a connector, archive, and living expression of culture. Participants should bring their own cameras – from phones to DSLR’s -- to apply these techniques with devices with which they already have familiarity.

Note: Participants will photograph other participants only. This is an adult-focused event.
