This course is for you if...
- You love looking at food photography, and you’d like to give it a try – but you’re not exactly Betty Crocker.
- You truly enjoy the creative process and are drawn to the idea of bringing everyday items together to create something beautiful (you’re just not sure how to do it!).
- Photography just hasn’t been the same since your kids got older, and you miss creating work that’s really meaningful to you.
- You love both photography and food itself (whether that’s going to the farmer’s market on Saturday mornings, trying that new bakery in town, or baking your grandma's famous cake recipe) – but you haven’t explored them together.
- The idea of creating photos according to your mood – bright, deep, calm, or complex – is appealing to you, especially if you can do it with things you have on hand.

I highly recommend this class!
Thanks so much Kristin! I am so happy that you found the information to be helpful and I appreciate the recommendation! : )
This was such an inspiring self paced course. I’m often intimidated by the idea of elaborate set ups and extra equipment but Amy’s approach is simple and she makes things like lighting and tethering feel doable. Watching her videos felt like I was hanging out with a friend sharing all her food photography tips and tricks! I am quite new to the genre of food photography and Amy has economical suggestions for various props and surfaces, as well as some nifty problem solving tips which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this course!
Thanks so much Katy for the kind and encouraging words! I am so happy that you feel that it was practical and enjoyed the presentation of the material. Thanks so much for the support! : )
I have always wanted to try food photography, but it has felt so intimidating! I love how Amy has broken it down to make it more simple to understand the foundations! She uses a no-nonsense, direct and easy approach! I highly recommend this course if you are even remotely interested in food photography!
Emily ~ I am so glad you found the course to be helpful and a good introduction to photographing food!
I love food photography, but I always feel so lost when I’m attempting to set everything up. NOT anymore! Amy shares everything you need to know to take amazing photos. What I love most about this course is that so much of what Amy teaches can be applied to other genres of photography as well! She’s such a great teacher, and this course is worth every penny!
Jamie, thanks so much for the kind words and I am so happy that you found the information to be applicable to other genres as well! That makes me super happy! I am excited to see what you create! Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Amy! I am excited to go through your PDF that is filled with all your beautiful imagery! I am jumping in a little late, but look forward to ‘digesting’ all the materials in the next month or two as time allows. I love the critiques that you have given in the live run as they are so helpful and constructive. I am not a baker or cook lol, but I do love creating beautiful salads and look forward to capturing them soon. My hubby is the baker, so maybe I will have to be his photographer and just stick to my salads lol!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU! I hope you love the course and make some beautiful photos of your hubby’s cooking! How awesome is that?! ; )
Amy’s course came at such a great time. I recently was contacted by a company to do a little food photography as part of an assignment, and while I managed to get the images they requested, I realized just how much more there was to food photography than I had ever considered. As someone who has not dabbled much in this genre, I really appreciate Amy’s thoughtfulness and the way she breaks it down simply into light, composition, color theory, textures. So many wonderful ways to break down something that can feel so intimidating, and I look forward to studying it even deeper in the months ahead, as I try to tackle this genre a bit more. Thank you so much, Amy!
How exciting Christina! I am super happy for you to have gotten a great assignment like that! I hope the course was helpful and going forward will give you better insight and provide amazing images to your clients!
Food photography is definitely a weak area for me, but Amy broke down all of the complex concepts in the most understandable way!! I am so excited to practice now!! Thanks so much, Amy!
Yay Mandalyn! I am super excited for you and to see what you can create. You are so talented and no doubt you will crush this genre too!
If you are interested or enjoy food photography I highly recommend this course! Amy provides a behind the scenes pass into how she creates incredible food set ups from start to finish. I have been a long time fan of Amy’s food photography, and to be able to learn from her presented an incredible opportunity. It should be noted that while I digested the material of the course, I also digested a few treats (the imagery is craving worthy). Looking forward to implementing this course information into practice. Thank you Amy!!
Wow ! What an exeptional value for the money spent. Put together well with a wealth of insight and logical explanations of techniques to help you create great results. I have not done food photography yet, but I have purchased a great book and looked at several videos and none offer this level of information all in one place. Thank you for this and all the information shared, it has opened a whole new world of oppertunities for me with and extra boost of confidence !
Michael – You have made my day and I am beyond thrilled that you enjoyed the course so well! Thanks so much for your kind words and I am looking forward to hearing how your food photography journey takes flight! Keep me posted! : )

I love food and I love taking photos of food. I’ve always felt intimidated by the seemingly elaborate process of food photography. I am SO glad that I took Amy’s course because she explained all the aspects from how to set things up to how to shoot to how to edit in the materials. I love watching her demonstration videos. I am a visual learner so all the videos are really helpful for me to understand how exactly it is done. Amy’s work is stunning and she is a great teacher. I enjoyed her teaching style in this course too :) I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to get into food photography or would like to take their food photography to the next level.

Amy shows you everything from props to lighting, editing & more! Amy’s teaching style makes it easy for beginners to get into the creative process quickly but also imparts an abundance of knowledge that even pros will find invaluable.
Amy’s videos are extremely helpful. I’m sure you will love this course as much as I did.
