The food has arrived, the iPhone is out, but the lighting is off. Yet you still snap a shot of your what-even-is-that grainy plate to your Instagram and tag it #foodporn. Why not step up your food photography game and learn how to always have five star-worthy meal shots with our Photography for Bloggers E-Class?
Pinch of Yum blogger Lindsay Ostrom shares all of her behind-the-lens tips and tricks in this beginner level 55-minute course for novice food photographers.
In the e-class you’ll first learn the basics of managing the controls of your DSLR camera (an essential, people!). Then Lindsay will teach you how to appropriately light your shots to make them gorgeous. Finally — and most importantly — you’ll learn how to perfectly style a shot so your overhead plate pics look as good as they taste.
