Learn to use food as a communicative and conceptual element

A small scroll on Instagram is enough to realize the relevance that gastronomic photography has obtained as a result of the boom of social networks. Therefore, it seems increasingly difficult to stand out in a sea of photos labeled with #foodporn .

Vega Hernando - creator of the Instagram account Eating Patterns - has not only managed to stand out, but has turned her passion for gastronomy and photography into a creative studio with which she has generated content and designed caterings, private dinners and all kinds of experiences for brands such as Estrella Damm or Adidas.

In this course you will learn to transmit creative concepts through gastronomic photography, making the most of your ingredients using visual compositions.

Designer and art director

Vega Hernando is a designer and founding art director of Eating Patterns, a personal project born as a way to unify her passion for gastronomy and design. With more than 15 thousand followers on Instagram, Eating Patterns has driven Vega to found his own studio of content creation and artistic direction that has led him to collaborate with brands such as Estrella Damm, Adidas and Hoteles Barceló.

Using food as a graphic resource has allowed Vega to create designs that go beyond the visual and that transport us to much more deeply rooted emotions related to memories and experiences.
