with the kind participation of Catia Lemmi
This December, we're bringing Italian warmth to English architecture. Join us for a one-day workshop in a 250-year-old Mayfair mansion where we'll work with winter's most beautiful ingredients - gingerbread cakes, seasonal fruits, and all the textures that make December so rich.
We'll spend the day moving between floors, exploring different lights, inspiring and recharging you for 2026. Just twelve of us, no rushing, plenty of space to find what draws your eye and step into the new year creatively recharged and nourished.

An Extraordinary Creative Experience
•
Limited to a small group of photographers. 5th December 2025. One unforgettable day.
Join us for a day dedicated to building your portfolio, reconnecting with your creative spark, and working with winter's most beautiful ingredients in a 250-year-old Georgian mansion in the heart of Mayfair.
14 Cavendish Square is where Dior, Hermès, and Netflix create their campaigns - and this December, it becomes our creative sanctuary. Four floors of natural light pouring through those massive Georgian windows, weathered walls that tell centuries of stories, will be our backgrounds to shoot cakes and beautiful Christmas foods. The mansion becomes private in January 2026, so we're literally among the last to create there.
Just twelve of us. Linda, Catia, and I will guide you through different setups on each floor - from intimate window-lit scenes to grand architectural backdrops. We'll photograph, create, and share—together. No rushing, just proper time to explore and find what draws your eye.
Whether you're refining your style or simply craving a day to feel creatively alive again, we can't wait to welcome you.

BENVENUTI
Built in 1770, 14 Cavendish Square stands as one of London's most extraordinary creative spaces—a Grade II* listed Georgian mansion where centuries of history live in every weathered wall and elegant archway.
Spanning 11,000 square feet across five magnificent floors, this Mayfair treasure offers floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows that flood each room with the kind of natural light photographers dream of—soft, directional, and ever-changing throughout the day.
The mansion's raw beauty lies in its authentic patina: peeling walls that tell stories, original architectural details that frame every shot, and grand staircases that create natural backdrops no studio can replicate.
This is where luxury brands like Dior, Hermès, and Netflix choose to create their most important content—and for one extraordinary December day, it becomes your creative sanctuary.

“ I was a bit scared to come to the workshop, I was thinking everybody was going to be full-blown photographers. How wrong I was!”
"The teaching was so well-structured, combining technical knowledge with creative exercises that let us apply what we learned immediately. I was fascinated to see how small changes in composition and styling can completely transform a photo's visual appeal."
"I realised I was overthinking it. Now I have a process I can follow and adapt to my style."
“I understand so much better about food styling and creating shots - I learnt masses ...I am still absorbing, it was really useful for me.”
"Silvia revealed herself to be an amazing, warm person who made the entire learning experience feel personal. Her teaching is like a searchlight throwing clarity into the darkness—perfect for both beginners and experienced photographers."

Students Experiences
Linda has been photographing and creating recipes for over 20 years. She's the creator behind Call Me Cupcake and has authored multiple cookbooks published and translated around the world.
Canon Europe once described her as "one of the most exciting recipe creators and food photographers in the world." Her work has this quality of making you want to reach into the frame - there's warmth there, and genuine curiosity that comes through in every shot.
After two decades behind the camera, she's developed a distinctive way of photography that balances technical mastery with emotional storytelling. That's the approach she brings to teaching.

meet your Teachers
Silvia is Italian-born and London-based, with a background that took her from fashion design at Istituto Marangoni to becoming the youngest manager at United Colours of Benetton. She eventually left that world entirely to pursue photography.
She's worked for publications like Marie Claire Maison and now teaches food photography through her PCS Academy online course. Her approach is about making complex visual concepts actually understandable - she has a knack for breaking down what intimidates people about photography and making it accessible.
The fashion background still shows up in how she sees composition and colour. After years of transitioning from corporate fashion to creative photography, she knows firsthand what it takes to find your own visual voice, and that's what she focuses on in her teaching.
