R2L is a fantastic restaurant, for those who are unfamiliar, with breathtaking views of the downtown Philadelphia buildings. I work in the same building in which R2L is located, and my office has the same view; however, there is a certain mystique within the walls of R2L that the view takes my breath away, as if I had just seen it for the first time.
It was an incredible workshop with delicious food and cocktails.
The exceedingly talented Eric Mencher shared with us a wealth of knowledge on food photography.
Priceless, priceless information was given.
Did I mention the food?! I have been dreaming of the lobster mac & cheese ever since.
They were so kind to set the dishes we tasted during the cocktail hour in such a way that we could practice honing our photography skills.
Yum?!
Double triple yum?!
Poor donut didn't even stand a chance.
Behind the scenes?
It was such a great time. I really urge you to go to R2L, if you are ever in Philadelphia.
This is a great write-up Emily, I didn't know you were in the Philly area with Chef D. That food looked too good to eat, well almost. I bet you picked up lots of great tips from everyone.

I need to find a food festival - fast. Beautiful coverage of a glorious time.
ReplyDeleteGood food and good time, what could be better?
ReplyDeleteOk, this makes me want a new camera more than ever hahaha. What an event! Gorgeous views, great information and that food? Lobster anything=amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I like the chilled out laid back mood of the last few. Thanks so much for inviting me!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun. We have nothing like this locally. I might have to start travelling up to Toronto occasionally and see if they have some there. Where I live is the culinary black hole. You are so lucky!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Im so jealous. Look at those BEAUTIFUL plates.
ReplyDeleteI bet being greeted at the entrance with a glass of champagne helped transform it from a work atmosphere to a fun one:) It was so great to see you! Love the last couple of pics. I agree with Keeley. They set a chilled out/laid back vibe.
ReplyDeleteVery cool event indeed, looks amazing. And more power to foodphotography tips and help,looks like you leaned and honed a lot right there, great photos
ReplyDeleteEmily, it sounds like a fantastic experience. I must admit to a bit of envy:-) Everything looks wonderful. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
