Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

"bio": "I am a writer, editor, mother of twins, and enthusiastic home cook. I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>. My food inspirations are M.F.K Fisher, Julia Child, and Alice Waters — three fabulous women who encompass everything I love about food.",

I pop it fresh at home, and usually can't resist a big bag of it when I go to the movies. As someone who grew up in San Diego County, I've always been impressed with the popcorn I eat at theaters in the Bay Area (and the theaters themselves). In San Diego, pretty much all movie houses are large cineplexes owned by media chains. So in addition to having to sit through endless entertainment trivia questions and facts while we wait for the movie to start, not to mention the interminable canned pop music blaring through the Dolby speakers, the only popcorn available is often stale (because it's pre-popped) and comes with a neon orange \"butter\" flavored topping. And, to add insult to injury, most large tubs top $7.50 these days. It's enough to make this popcorn-loving girl eat M&Ms instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So after 15 years of living in both San Francisco and the East Bay, I'm still thankful each time I walk into my local \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/\">Grand Lake Theater\u003c/a>, with its beautiful decorative ceilings and theme rooms, ample seating, Friday and Saturday \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/masters/grandl~1/GLOrgan.htm\">Mighty Wurlitzer organ music\u003c/a> before the evening shows, and marquee sporting left-leaning political views (or rather, rants). It's pretty much the antithesis of anything you'd find in my home town and I love it. When I lived in San Francisco, I enjoyed going to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/\">Red Vic\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/SanFrancisco/LumiereTheatre.htm\">Lumiere\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.castrotheatre.com/\">Castro\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/SanFrancisco/ClayTheatre.htm\">Clay \u003c/a>and a variety of other movie houses. Some were renovated, others a little run down, but none blared the latest country music hit from the speakers or had ads before the show started. Even better, all of the small movie houses I liked had great popcorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/04/real-butter.jpg\" alt=\"real butter\" title=\"real butter\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12925\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.howtotrainyourdragon.com/\">How to Train Your Dragon\u003c/a> with my daughters recently at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/\">Grand Lake Theater\u003c/a>, I started to wonder how many local movie houses really pop their corn on site, and also which offer real butter. In an attempt to classify this information, I emailed or called the main movie theaters in San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley. And, just for good measure, I also asked everyone how much they charged for a large tub or bag. I was impressed to find that all but one theater that responded popped their popcorn on site (and the one that didn't sells unique Asian-flavored popcorn). Interestingly, even large chains that truck their popcorn in for other non-Bay Area locations pop it fresh in their San Francisco, Emeryville and Berkeley theaters. I was also excited to find that all but one of the independents offer real butter as a topping. What surprised me, however, was how much cheaper the popcorn at independent movie houses was in comparison to the chain theaters (often 2/3 the price and in one case almost half the cost), especially considering that the larger chains often use cheaper soy bean or coconut oil \"butter\" flavored toppings instead of real butter. The admission price is also usually less expensive at an independent house, so you may want to splurge on some Red Vines as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following is a list of my findings. Please note that not every theater responded, so if your favorite isn't on the list, blame the person who answers their email. I tried calling some locations that didn't email me back, but as most only have phone numbers that list movie show times, I couldn't actually speak to anyone. Also, some theaters noted that they offer free refills on their large tub of popcorn, while others simply didn't provide this information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> As you'll see, the state of movie popcorn is pretty good where we live. The popcorn seems to always be popped on site, which makes it fresher. The butter situation, although pretty good, is a bit rockier, with some theaters offering real butter and others that neon orange stuff. But let's just forget about fresh popcorn and butter for a second. Regardless of the quality of these concessions, we're lucky to have so many small movie houses still in existence. Sadly, the day of the independent movie theater is gone in many other parts of the country, but here we can enjoy retrospectives at the Red Vic, walking to the Lumiere or the Presidio on windy nights, seeing a film festival at the Castro, or taking our kids to see the latest 3D movie at The Grand Lake. We're fortunate to have so many old movie houses to choose from, whether you eat popcorn or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.amcentertainment.com/Metreon/\">AMC Loews Metreon 16\u003c/a> -- Orville Redenbacher popped on site. Instead of butter, they offer a popcorn topping that is butter flavored and made from soy bean oil.

I pop it fresh at home, and usually can't resist a big bag of it when I go to the movies. As someone who grew up in San Diego County, I've always been impressed with the popcorn I eat at theaters in the Bay Area (and the theaters themselves). In San Diego, pretty much all movie houses are large cineplexes owned by media chains. So in addition to having to sit through endless entertainment trivia questions and facts while we wait for the movie to start, not to mention the interminable canned pop music blaring through the Dolby speakers, the only popcorn available is often stale (because it's pre-popped) and comes with a neon orange \"butter\" flavored topping. And, to add insult to injury, most large tubs top $7.50 these days. It's enough to make this popcorn-loving girl eat M&Ms instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So after 15 years of living in both San Francisco and the East Bay, I'm still thankful each time I walk into my local \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/\">Grand Lake Theater\u003c/a>, with its beautiful decorative ceilings and theme rooms, ample seating, Friday and Saturday \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/masters/grandl~1/GLOrgan.htm\">Mighty Wurlitzer organ music\u003c/a> before the evening shows, and marquee sporting left-leaning political views (or rather, rants). It's pretty much the antithesis of anything you'd find in my home town and I love it. When I lived in San Francisco, I enjoyed going to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.redvicmoviehouse.com/\">Red Vic\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/SanFrancisco/LumiereTheatre.htm\">Lumiere\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.castrotheatre.com/\">Castro\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.landmarktheatres.com/Market/SanFrancisco/ClayTheatre.htm\">Clay \u003c/a>and a variety of other movie houses. Some were renovated, others a little run down, but none blared the latest country music hit from the speakers or had ads before the show started. Even better, all of the small movie houses I liked had great popcorn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/04/real-butter.jpg\" alt=\"real butter\" title=\"real butter\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12925\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while watching \u003ca href=\"http://www.howtotrainyourdragon.com/\">How to Train Your Dragon\u003c/a> with my daughters recently at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.renaissancerialto.com/\">Grand Lake Theater\u003c/a>, I started to wonder how many local movie houses really pop their corn on site, and also which offer real butter. In an attempt to classify this information, I emailed or called the main movie theaters in San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley. And, just for good measure, I also asked everyone how much they charged for a large tub or bag. I was impressed to find that all but one theater that responded popped their popcorn on site (and the one that didn't sells unique Asian-flavored popcorn). Interestingly, even large chains that truck their popcorn in for other non-Bay Area locations pop it fresh in their San Francisco, Emeryville and Berkeley theaters. I was also excited to find that all but one of the independents offer real butter as a topping. What surprised me, however, was how much cheaper the popcorn at independent movie houses was in comparison to the chain theaters (often 2/3 the price and in one case almost half the cost), especially considering that the larger chains often use cheaper soy bean or coconut oil \"butter\" flavored toppings instead of real butter. The admission price is also usually less expensive at an independent house, so you may want to splurge on some Red Vines as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Please note that not every theater responded, so if your favorite isn't on the list, blame the person who answers their email. I tried calling some locations that didn't email me back, but as most only have phone numbers that list movie show times, I couldn't actually speak to anyone. Also, some theaters noted that they offer free refills on their large tub of popcorn, while others simply didn't provide this information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> As you'll see, the state of movie popcorn is pretty good where we live. The popcorn seems to always be popped on site, which makes it fresher. The butter situation, although pretty good, is a bit rockier, with some theaters offering real butter and others that neon orange stuff. But let's just forget about fresh popcorn and butter for a second. Regardless of the quality of these concessions, we're lucky to have so many small movie houses still in existence. Sadly, the day of the independent movie theater is gone in many other parts of the country, but here we can enjoy retrospectives at the Red Vic, walking to the Lumiere or the Presidio on windy nights, seeing a film festival at the Castro, or taking our kids to see the latest 3D movie at The Grand Lake. We're fortunate to have so many old movie houses to choose from, whether you eat popcorn or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.amcentertainment.com/Metreon/\">AMC Loews Metreon 16\u003c/a> -- Orville Redenbacher popped on site.

The film director, writer, conceptual artist and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/entertainment/movies/john-waters-PECLB004183.topic\">Pope of Trash\u003c/a> Waters may have fallen for our hometown enough to call it home (if only on a part-time basis). Two years ago, he decided to buy a place in Nob Hill, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-01-27/entertainment/17835984_1_john-waters-modern-art-public-transportation\">San Francisco Chronicle report by Catherine Bigelow\u003c/a> in January this year. Bigelow described Waters first visit to the Jeannette Etheredge owned North Beach watering hole, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/2009/11/toscas_90th_birthday_a_mashup.php\">Tosca\u003c/a>. Waters went to Tosca after he attended the 75th anniversary of SFMOMA with artworld-celeb friends who are also his neighbors here. Sightings of Waters have also been documented on the \u003ca href=\"http://missionmission.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/john-waters-does-san-francisco/\">Mission Mission\u003c/a> blog--among other places--last year. There are reports on Mission Mission of Waters hanging out at an art show opening party, as well as the Polk Street post office (from \u003ca href=\"http://cookingwithamy.blogspot.com/\">Cooking with Amy's\u003c/a> Amy Sherman), \u003ca href=\"http://www.borderlands-books.com/\">Borderlands Bookstore\u003c/a>, and doing his grocery shopping and riding buses and MUNI are sited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't have any sort of real paparazzi here like the movie hub Southern California (SoCal) does, and instead resort to various ways of noting and communicating encounters and occasional contact with famous types. The bounty of natural beauty, cultural heritage, middling to decent public transportation (which Waters reportedly enjoys using), and of course food culture ranging from street food to California cuisine and white table cloth establishments make the deal of Bay Area living that much sweeter.

The film director, writer, conceptual artist and \u003ca href=\"http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/entertainment/movies/john-waters-PECLB004183.topic\">Pope of Trash\u003c/a> Waters may have fallen for our hometown enough to call it home (if only on a part-time basis). Two years ago, he decided to buy a place in Nob Hill, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-01-27/entertainment/17835984_1_john-waters-modern-art-public-transportation\">San Francisco Chronicle report by Catherine Bigelow\u003c/a> in January this year. Bigelow described Waters first visit to the Jeannette Etheredge owned North Beach watering hole, \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/2009/11/toscas_90th_birthday_a_mashup.php\">Tosca\u003c/a>. Waters went to Tosca after he attended the 75th anniversary of SFMOMA with artworld-celeb friends who are also his neighbors here. Sightings of Waters have also been documented on the \u003ca href=\"http://missionmission.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/john-waters-does-san-francisco/\">Mission Mission\u003c/a> blog--among other places--last year. There are reports on Mission Mission of Waters hanging out at an art show opening party, as well as the Polk Street post office (from \u003ca href=\"http://cookingwithamy.blogspot.com/\">Cooking with Amy's\u003c/a> Amy Sherman), \u003ca href=\"http://www.borderlands-books.com/\">Borderlands Bookstore\u003c/a>, and doing his grocery shopping and riding buses and MUNI are sited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don't have any sort of real paparazzi here like the movie hub Southern California (SoCal) does, and instead resort to various ways of noting and communicating encounters and occasional contact with famous types. The bounty of natural beauty, cultural heritage, middling to decent public transportation (which Waters reportedly enjoys using), and of course food culture ranging from street food to California cuisine and white table cloth establishments make the deal of Bay Area living that much sweeter. Northern California is generally a more relaxed environment versus the hustle-bustle-do-you-know-who-I-am? aggression and cheesiness that smacks you in the face constantly in L.A.

Penny started as a documentary photographer, but has recently moved into shooting more food. However, her photos aren't glistenny, perfectly placed studio shots (although she's done a few of those, too). Instead, Penny is a magician at lassoing a moment and a sense of place. She takes her background as a documentary photographer and uses it to capture the culture and the stories that take place around the table and in places that people gather. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was smiling the entire day. But the first smile came when I received a confirmation e-mail from Penny that described what we needed to bring to \"make pictures\" on Sunday. Then that morning, Penny talked about the difference between taking and making pictures. I've never heard someone speak of photography this way. Essentially, anyone can take a picture, but it takes an understanding of your camera and a certain deliberateness to make a photo. And that's exactly what we worked on. We made photos at \u003ca href=\"http://www.contigosf.com/\">Contigo Restaurant\u003c/a> in Noe Valley, run by chef Brett Emerson and his lovely wife, Elan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/contigorestaurant.jpg\" alt=\"contigo restaurant\" title=\"contigo restaurant\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11517\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Capturing a few quiet moments at Contigo Restaurant\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brett and Elan brought out a steady stream of beautiful food, from Spanish hot chocolate and churros to asparagus with a perfectly poached egg, ground almonds and hot paprika. We were blessed to have such a canvas. Then in the afternoon, Penny pushed us to get into the action and get up close and personal with people and situations: we made portraits and street shots in the Mission and then went back to \u003ca href=\"http://www.18reasons.org/\">18 Reasons\u003c/a> to critique them and debrief. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why Food?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPenny mentioned how many of her colleagues scoff at her more recent foray into food photography, which is often thought to be \"lighter\" than other professional work. But Penny sees food photography in a different way than so many others I've ever come across. \"My photos show the story behind the food. They show humanity, \" she said in our workshop. And if you look at some of her work from Saveur lately (Did you see that Texas issue?!), this is no joke. Penny elaborates, noting that \"Food photos are never just about food. They're equally about people, landscapes, capturing moments, and a sense of place.\" This is why you don't see a lot of glossy studio shots in Penny's portfolio. She's interested in stories. And she discovers those stories through people: \"Food is what connects us. It's a wonderful way to discover humanity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/portraits.jpg\" alt=\"portraits of people in the Mission\" title=\"portraits of people in the Mission\" width=\"500\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11516\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Penny pushed us to take portraits in the Mission. Here are a few I \"made.\"\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Few Bits of Inspiration\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSo about halfway through the morning at Contigo, I started jotting down everything Penny said. She was obviously talking about photography, but I began resonating with her tips in a broader sense. I'll refrain from getting too Zen on you, but here are a few lovely quotes that I took away with me that, I think, have broader implications than just photography:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Take risks...a person's reach should be further than their grasp. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follow your instincts. That's what makes good pictures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Energy happens when you have energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm never ever saying no to myself because I want to explore it, uncover it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your instincts are the most important element in making a photograph. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/Pennyteaching.jpg\" alt=\"Penny de los Santos\" title=\"Penny de los Santos\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11519\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Penny de los Santos doing her thing in San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Penny's Tips on Food Photography\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nUnlike most professional photographers I've met, Penny is low-key with a capital \"L.\" She seems a little hesitant to talk about her equipment, she only brings one lens out in the field and actually discourages the use of a zoom lens because she thinks it encourages laziness. She's discreet. She doesn't use fancy flashes nor does she have an assistant. She keeps it inconspicuous so she doesn't stand out or draw attention to herself--something you definitely don't want when you're shooting markets in developing countries or a family gathering in a tiny diner in Texas. That being said, Penny has some great tips on capturing a good photo. In them, you won't find technical details on adjusting your white balance or achieving bokeh. The workshop wasn't that kind of gig. Instead, we focused more on the big picture: on loosening up, gathering the gumption to photograph people fearlessly, waiting and listening for the right moment, and constantly thinking about light. Moments, stories, and light. Isn't that what pictures are comprised of in the first place? Here are a few of Penny's tips from the workshop that you may find helpful:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Light\u003c/strong>.

Penny started as a documentary photographer, but has recently moved into shooting more food. However, her photos aren't glistenny, perfectly placed studio shots (although she's done a few of those, too). Instead, Penny is a magician at lassoing a moment and a sense of place. She takes her background as a documentary photographer and uses it to capture the culture and the stories that take place around the table and in places that people gather. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was smiling the entire day. But the first smile came when I received a confirmation e-mail from Penny that described what we needed to bring to \"make pictures\" on Sunday. Then that morning, Penny talked about the difference between taking and making pictures. I've never heard someone speak of photography this way. Essentially, anyone can take a picture, but it takes an understanding of your camera and a certain deliberateness to make a photo. And that's exactly what we worked on. We made photos at \u003ca href=\"http://www.contigosf.com/\">Contigo Restaurant\u003c/a> in Noe Valley, run by chef Brett Emerson and his lovely wife, Elan. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/contigorestaurant.jpg\" alt=\"contigo restaurant\" title=\"contigo restaurant\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11517\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Capturing a few quiet moments at Contigo Restaurant\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brett and Elan brought out a steady stream of beautiful food, from Spanish hot chocolate and churros to asparagus with a perfectly poached egg, ground almonds and hot paprika. We were blessed to have such a canvas. Then in the afternoon, Penny pushed us to get into the action and get up close and personal with people and situations: we made portraits and street shots in the Mission and then went back to \u003ca href=\"http://www.18reasons.org/\">18 Reasons\u003c/a> to critique them and debrief. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Penny sees food photography in a different way than so many others I've ever come across. \"My photos show the story behind the food. They show humanity, \" she said in our workshop. And if you look at some of her work from Saveur lately (Did you see that Texas issue?!), this is no joke. Penny elaborates, noting that \"Food photos are never just about food. They're equally about people, landscapes, capturing moments, and a sense of place.\" This is why you don't see a lot of glossy studio shots in Penny's portfolio. She's interested in stories. And she discovers those stories through people: \"Food is what connects us. It's a wonderful way to discover humanity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/portraits.jpg\" alt=\"portraits of people in the Mission\" title=\"portraits of people in the Mission\" width=\"500\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11516\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Penny pushed us to take portraits in the Mission. Here are a few I \"made.\"\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Few Bits of Inspiration\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSo about halfway through the morning at Contigo, I started jotting down everything Penny said. She was obviously talking about photography, but I began resonating with her tips in a broader sense. I'll refrain from getting too Zen on you, but here are a few lovely quotes that I took away with me that, I think, have broader implications than just photography:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Take risks...a person's reach should be further than their grasp. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Follow your instincts. That's what makes good pictures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Energy happens when you have energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm never ever saying no to myself because I want to explore it, uncover it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your instincts are the most important element in making a photograph. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/03/Pennyteaching.jpg\" alt=\"Penny de los Santos\" title=\"Penny de los Santos\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11519\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Penny de los Santos doing her thing in San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Penny's Tips on Food Photography\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nUnlike most professional photographers I've met, Penny is low-key with a capital \"L.\" She seems a little hesitant to talk about her equipment, she only brings one lens out in the field and actually discourages the use of a zoom lens because she thinks it encourages laziness. She's discreet. She doesn't use fancy flashes nor does she have an assistant. She keeps it inconspicuous so she doesn't stand out or draw attention to herself--something you definitely don't want when you're shooting markets in developing countries or a family gathering in a tiny diner in Texas. That being said, Penny has some great tips on capturing a good photo. In them, you won't find technical details on adjusting your white balance or achieving bokeh. The workshop wasn't that kind of gig. Instead, we focused more on the big picture: on loosening up, gathering the gumption to photograph people fearlessly, waiting and listening for the right moment, and constantly thinking about light. Moments, stories, and light. Isn't that what pictures are comprised of in the first place? Here are a few of Penny's tips from the workshop that you may find helpful:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Light\u003c/strong>. We've all heard it before: it's all about the natural light. But Penny's adamant about this. She simply won't shoot if there isn't proper natural light. She talks about chasing light and capturing light on location, and describes getting up far before the crack of dawn to do so. No speedlights. No fancy flashes. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Get in the action\u003c/strong>: \"You have to get in front of people. You need to get all up in there.\" To do this, she says you must use a fixed lens and just go for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Layers and details\u003c/strong> are important. Create layers with the foreground and background of a photo: don't just shoot a flat bowl of soup. Add dimension and layers with color, a few glasses in the background, interesting details. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Telling a story \u003c/strong>about the food is critical. To do this, vary your angles, seek out the light, and photograph different stages of the meal: in preparation, plated, and in process (being eaten). \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perspective\u003c/strong>: Challenge yourself. Try taking photos from above and from below. Shake up the way you usually do things. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\t\u003cstrong>Camera angles and visual pacing\u003c/strong>: variety is key. You need to work with many camera angles to keep your shots fresh and interesting. Your go-to angles will be the overhead angle (good for food with lots of color), ¾ view, and side view.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Patience\u003c/strong>. Wait. When photographing people or scenes, Penny makes people comfortable and then sits back and waits for them to begin acting naturally and forget that she's there. \u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
