FOR INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS
Embrace your dream
Do you have a dream of becoming a full-time food photographer, combining your love for creativity with earning a living?
So did I.
I went from one low paying client to a full time, six figure food photography business in 2 years. And I did it by focusing on restaurants.
The Game-Changing Discoveries:
Unlike other avenues in food photography, entering the world of restaurants is refreshingly accessible. Clients are more approachable making the likelihood of booking a gig greater.
Restaurants come in all sizes, offering an array of budgets. This variety creates consistent income potential that's hard to beat
Using restaurant work as my foundation opened doors to all kinds of other food photography clients
I hear your frustrations
But there were some challenges…
Maybe you experienced this too?
Different restaurants meant dealing with diverse lighting conditions, or sometimes, a lack thereof.
Relying solely on natural light was no longer enough. But the realm of artificial light seemed daunting.
The struggle to put a price tag on my work and craft enticing proposals was real.
Restaurants were requesting chef portraits and interior shots, areas where I lacked confidence.
This all felt overwhelming, but I was determined. I started experimenting with artificial light, investing in my business skills, and honing my craft over the span of more than 100 restaurant shoots.
What happened?
I shed the feeling of not being a "real" photographer, embracing my expertise.
I transferred my artificial light skills I used with restaurants into more bookings for studio, recipe, and product photography.
More emails found replies, pitches turned into solid bookings, and clients were actively seeking me
My now robust portfolio attracted clients from around the world.
My confidence not only soared in portraits using both natural and artificial light but also in guiding subjects to relax in front of the camera.
My business revenue soared over 10 times in under 2 years!
So I created…
