*The workshop: Is a two-hour, one-on-one workshop, to look beyond simply pointing and shooting a camera to the art of capturing your creative vision in image form. Bring your own cell phone or full-size camera and the winner and Peter will review its features and he will answer any specific questions you might have about your device or photography in general.
Photographer Peter Pioppo will be choosing a final winner based on the semi-finalists chosen by our judges.
About Peter Pioppo: Few subjects are as difficult to photograph as food, and few photographers have found greater success at mastering the nuances than Peter Pioppo. Not content to simply shoot his subjects, he transforms them into objects of desire.
Peter has built a unique career working with the most recognizable names in the culinary and beverage worlds, innovating ways to turn transient consumables into distinctive packaging, high-impact advertising and groundbreaking art. Peter not only works brilliantly behind the camera; his creative problem-solving in front of the lens has earned him a reputation as an on-set MacGyver.
His inimitable style has brought him numerous awards, including a Golden Clio for his packaging work for Breyer’s All-Natural Ice Cream. His photography has been featured in Food Arts, New York magazine, The New York Times, and Bon Appetite. His commercial clients included most major producers of food in America.
All entries must be posted by November 12, 2021 at 5 PM ET – all images must be posted between now and November 12, 2021 (and cannot be from year’s past) — can be from Stamford, New York including the Greater Stamford area with a fall theme.
