In recent times, photography has surged in popularity not only as a hobby but as a crucial method for business. It is a proven, effective way to showcase products, make an immediate positive impression, and even increase appetite through visual appeal. Therefore, On September 4, 2025, Intake 62 digital marketing students had a unique food phone photography workshop opportunity at Cuca Restaurant. Where they learned how to photograph any dishes by just using their own phones. This hands-on training not only enhanced their learning retention, but it can boost their confidence, making them more job-ready from day one.

Mastering Food Photography Right From Your Phone

Ms. Erika as the HR Manager, Mr. Bisma as Communication Assistant Manager, and Mr. Rangga as Social Media Specialist at Cuca Restaurant, introduced students to ‘Phonegraphy’ in a hands-on workshop focused on practical application. Students then learned to set lighting, quickly edit photos on their phones, and craft engaging captions and content for their businesses. The most practical part involved using their own restaurant dishes as props to practice and enhance their food photography skills.

Appreciating Cuca’s Warm Welcome and Yummy Dishes

By the end of the session, The Cuca Restaurant team kindly offered the students the dishes they had used for the photography exercise. Bali WISE thanks Cuca Restaurant for hosting the students, generously sharing their expertise, providing the food as props, and giving the students the unforgettable chance to taste the results. This practical experience was an excellent step for the digital marketing students to learn professional mobile food photography.
