Hello and welcome!
I hope that you’re as eager as I am about learning new techniques and improving your food photography. Photography is definitely a journey, and I want you to be patient with yourself with wherever you are. I’ve tried to cover all areas so that no one is left behind, and the more seasoned photographers still have room to learn and grow.
There is a popular quote that is so true:
Knowledge is power but knowledge without action is useless
And that’s so true of photography! You need to apply and practice what you learn here in this course. The more you practice, the easier it will become.
How to make the most of my course, in the fastest possible way. Beginners should start with Section 1, if you are intermediate, you can skip until Section 3.
Section1: We will talk about camera gear and accessories used in food photography. I will discuss camera bodies, give my recommendations on different lenses, tripods, and accessories. I will explain how to make the most of your mobile camera too. This course is designed for anyone with a camera, so it’s important to start taking photo’s with whatever camera you have!
Section 2:This is for absolute beginners, or photographers using automatic mode on their camera’s up until now. I will go through the basics of how camera exposure works so that you understand it, but you do not need to know every technical aspect of photography. I will show you the essentials. We will cover –
-
Exposure
-
White balance
-
Camera Angles
-
Shutter speeds
-
RAW vs JPG
-
Where to focus in the scene
-
11 ways to create depth in your images
Section 3:We will look at all the aspects that make up a good food image. I’ll also show you how to read food images. This is really an important skill to have. It will help you to understand what you like in an image, and how you can recreate it in your own work.
Section 4:In this section, we will look at how natural light behaves and it’s characteristics. I include one of my biggest takeaways from this course –What to STOP doing and what to START doing to dramatically improve your images.We’re going to cover the directions of light and how we determine which one to use, and why. We will talk about your light source – ie window/door/outdoors as we are working with natural daylight, and how to modify and shape the light with bought modifiers, or using things that you have at home. There are 3 behind the scenes videos showing the set up using the different directions of light.
Section 5:How are different moods created? We will look at what makes up a dark & moody image and a light & airy image. We will also look at the differences between hard and soft light, and how to create them.
Section 6:We will look at simple editing techniques in Lightroom & Photoshop. It’s nothing advanced or too fancy, just enough to really bring out the best in your images. I’ve filmed an easy video of how to make a composite in Photoshop (Join 2 photos together) and included PDF’s of the most commonly used shortcut keys in Photoshop to make editing quicker. I’ll also show you how to get rid of colour casts in Lightroom.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’ve got A’s for your Q’s
Does it matter if I’m new to food photography?
Nope! If you’re just getting started, I think this is the best way to start learning. You’ll learn a ton about light, tips and tricks for styling your scene, and how to edit your images afterwards.
How do I know it’s for me?
Do you love food photography? Then it’s for you. I’ve seen absolute beginners get gorgeous images, and more seasoned photographers understand the difference it makes when you light a scene correctly.
What happens if I already know the basics? Will I still learn a lot?
If you are here, it means that you are still struggling with natural light. I will clear up any doubts and get you on your way to taking stellar images.
What gear will I need?
You only need a camera. Your phone camera or a DSLR. Everything else is optional. I recommend having a tripod but you can shoot free-hand. All light modifiers can be made using things around the home, or cheap alternatives will be suggested to help you to shape the light.
What if I don’t use Lightroom/Photoshop?
I will tell you about other free software that you can install on your phone to edit your images from there.
How long will the course take to complete?
You can watch the entire course in one day, but you will need to practice to truly grasp what you’ve learnt. Knowledge is not power. Action is power. You must apply what you’ve learnt.
