Course description

Food Photography 101 teaches you how to capture mouthwatering food images that make viewers want to eat the screen. Rich Coleman walks you through essential camera skills and the gear setup you need to get started. You’ll learn how to build your scene for maximum visual impact and control both natural and off-camera lighting like a pro. The course dives into composition techniques so your food shots don’t fall flat or look amateur. Rich also covers critical food photography dos and don’ts so you skip the cringe mistakes. You’ll watch on-location demos using donuts, natural light, and strobes to see theory in action. By the end, you’ll have the recipe to create stunning, professional-level food photos that actually sell the taste.
