I am already a photographer but want to learn more about food photography. Will there be anything new for me to learn?
Absolutely. As a specialised food photographer I have noticed that when shooting interiors, portraits or anything else other than food that the principles applied are VERY different. In this course I will be teaching you the specifics on how to manipulate light and edit to enhance how food looks so every single dish you shoot will have people drooling!
Your Teacher
My name is Jade Nina Sarkhel and I'm an award-winning self taught food photographer. In 2017, I left my full time job in marketing to pursue a career as a food photographer. I had NO experience in photography whatsoever. Within a few year, I saw my work being featured publications like Vogue, GQ, National Geographic Food & Forbes Magazine!
I absolutely love what I do and I am so very excited to finally be sharing all my behind the scenes secrets with you in my very first online course.
