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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 !

If you have any interest in food photography, I cannot recommend this course enough! Amy is so talented and her images are drool worthy. Just the eye candy in this pdf is worth it alone, but she packs this course full of technical information, tools and set up tricks, creative ideas and inspiration. She leaves nothing out and gives ideas for all kinds of foods and various ways to get up your images. Composition, lighting, settings, – anything you feel unsure of, Amy has suggestions and ideas! Her videos cover a whole variety of food ideas and tips for lighting and set up. Don’t miss this class!

Amy is AMAZING! From the moment I opened the eBook I knew this course was going to be a tool I’d want to revisit over and over. She gives easy to follow steps and ideas throughout which make this genre of photography seems approachable and not intimidating. Her visual examples are great as well as her videos. 10 stars!

Do you love food photography? Would you like to learn from the best in the field of food photography? Then this self paced course is for you! The PDF you will receive is not only beautifully written, but it gives you detailed insight on how Amy is approaching the subjects.

Amy’s videos are very informative, and a lot of fun to watch. In the videos Amy goes over her thought process, and why she chooses the angles she does. Although I have photographed food for a while now, this course will get me to the next level, for sure.

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.
