Learn the secrets that go into creating world class food photography quickly & efficiently!  

 

This powerful system breaks down the key principles around food photography, natural light, and food styling that I teach at my in person workshops!

 

It's the one stop shop to get you up and running producing gorgeous food photography in a way that is fun, fast and oh so easy!

“My portfolio before this course included hundreds of photos of my subjects (usually cakes or cookies) in the center of the frame, with no props or thoughts about lighting or color. While that was good enough to sell my bakery goods, it wasn’t very flattering when I transitioned to blogging! 

 

Within one week of purchasing the FBE photography course, everything changed - suddenly I was understanding how light and color was affecting my scenes, and now I’m able to style my photos with props and pops of texture and hue. I’ve improved so much that I just got my first photo published in a national magazine - even though my camera is actually just my phone!"

"I went to photography school waaaaay back when and learned all sorts of fussy academic things about photography, and NONE of it prepared me for food photography like Dani's course did. Her material is so practical, so useful, and so easy to consume that I was producing infinitely better work within just a few days.

 

Our form of food photography is unique, and if you want to get better, it pays to learn from a pro. The amount of time and energy Dani puts into creating her trainings really shows. Seriously, there's no question left unanswered in these trainings... and if you think of something that's not there, just let her know and she's ON IT."

"Working with Dani has been a dream. She literally handed me her systems on a silver platter and saved me hundreds of hours. As a total newbie photographer, it used to take me 150 shots of one recipe to remotely get a decent one. Using her systems, tips and tricks, I can do it in about 10 shots and maybe 5 minutes of editing in Lightroom. 

 

Her systems are THAT good!"

"Dani's photography course really helped me up my game when it came to food styling. Before the course I didn't fully understand what I was looking to achieve in a photo so I'd just put something together and sort of, hope for the best. 

 

But after it, I now have a clear idea in my head of what I want from the start, which makes the photography process easier and the result much more professional looking!"

MASTER YOUR DSLR CAMERA AND START TAKING AMAZING PHOTOS!

Pure whites and brilliant colors are the hallmark trademark of our photography style. 

 

We dive in deep to what goes into achieving this look in camera and in post production. 

 

 We share our best tips on how to achieve this look in camera first so you can minimize editing time!  

Dark and moody shots evoke emotion and hold that "wow" factor in food photography! 

 

Learn the secret strategies, gear and setups to creating this dramatic effect in camera. Then come into post production in Lightroom to learn the edits that take this look to a whole new level!  

The truth is food photography is getting better and better. If you aren’t keeping up

with the photography and styling skills of your competitors, your business WILL

suffer. 

 

So you could...

  • Spend 1-3 YEARS struggling to learn all this on your own and from free tutorials.

  • Attend a $1,000+ 2 day class (not counting lodging, flights, meals out, etc.) Mine are $1,500 for 2

    days BTW

  • Buy a bunch of equipment you don't need, thinking it will fix the issue and then realize you

    don't know how to use it.

OR you could...

  • Skip that painful learning curve

  • Save hundreds of hours reshooting cringe worthy posts from when you "didn’t know what you

    were doing".

  • Start landing features, viral posts and clients NOW and not in 5 years.

  • Learn on your couch, in your sweatpants, and skip that pesky airport security.

  • Start shooting amazing photos for your blog & social media channels TODAY!

  • Get my gear recommendations and only buy what you actually need, not a bunch of fluff.

          (Hint: 99% of the time gear is NOT the problem and you just need to learn how to use what you

           already have!)

I created this system after years of requests from my students to help them simplify and master the process of Food Photography, Food Styling & Editing without having to travel to my workshops. 

 

I've been shooting food for 10 years and what works for other photography doesn't work for food. The truth is, if you want to speed up the painful learning curve in this industry... you need to learn from an expert.

BUT most courses on these topics sell for $300+ for ONE topic. That can get expensive really quickly!

 

Today you get our 3 course system on the complete range of skills you need to master!

 

My desire is to impact as many people as possible because a course like this completely changed my life. 

 

I walk you through my exact step-by-step process that will leave you empowered and ready to put your newly learned skills into ACTION! ​

 

Because let’s be honest...a course that you never put into practice isn’t worth much at all. 

 

MY PROMISE TO YOU:​

  • No 8 hour long studio classes.

  • No long useless workbooks you don't actually need.

  • No technobabble to make me look super smart and leave you feeling super confused. 

I promise this can be easy when you have the right teacher and SO. MUCH. FUN!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

 

WILL I NEED SPECIFIC CAMERA GEAR OR EQUIPMENT ?

 

DSLR Camera Basics assumes that you have a DSLR (our beginner lens recommendation is a 50mm) but all other courses can be utilized equally as well with phone photography. 

 

You will also need a computer of some kind that can run Lightroom.

 

We are a big believer that it has FAR less to do with what equipment you are using and far more to do with your skill levels at food styling, set design, light control and editing than it does having a fancy camera. 

 

You can make this work no matter what your budget is! 

 

IS EVERYTHING AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY?

 

YES! Dripped courses annoy me greatly so everything is available NOW! 

 

That being said we are chronic content creators so we add new content to all of our products regularly based on student requests. 

 

Our students LOVE that we are constantly adding even more value to their purchases. :) ​

 

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN THE FOODIE LIGHTROOM PRESETS?

 

The Foodie presets come with some trainings but are mostly a software add-on that allows you to edit your photos quickly and efficiently in just a few clicks!

 

 The Online Foodie Photography & Styling Workshop teaches you how to create the best image possible from the table up ;)

This workshop covers food styling, prop selection, set design, lighting, and properly capturing in camera so that the presets can work their magic even better. 

 

This course is not a replacement to the presets but rather the perfect compliment!
