Are you ready to transform your images?
From shooting everything with side light, because this is the only way I know ... to using the light correctly in each situation. And no, it’s not about diffusing light all the time :)
From placing objects into the frame ... to placing objects intentionally following advanced compositional techniques
-Sophie from @sophie.smigiel
"Lucia’s teaching approach is very effective: she shares knowledge in a detailed and informative way whilst keeping the concepts simple and easy to understand. What helps me especially is her detailed ‘behind the scenes’. Through them I was able to finally understand how to manipulate light to achieve different moods, as well as visually see detailed compositional breakdowns of her images using tools which I could then confidently apply to my own work. The information she shares is very generous - after reading her newsletters you are left with much more useful knowledge and no more questions about the particular concept. I would highly recommend learning from Lucia - everything she shares is incredibly valuable and helps me to overcome many challenges I face when photographing."
-Indu from @alettertomyfood
"Lucia is one of the best creatives I have met on the food photography platform on Instagram and just by looking at her images I knew I had to subscribe to her newsletters to learn from her behind the scenes. I have gained so much knowledge through her newsletters, e guides and monthly challenges. Being such a helpful mentor, she’s always available for any doubts and queries regarding photography. I connect to a person who is jovial and pleasant to talk to and Lucia is someone I immediately connected with. To put it in few words, she’s a hardworking and amazing mentor."

I have been interacting with Lucia and receiving her newsletter for some time now. Lucia is a very passionate and committed community educator, she always has time for fellow photographers, no matter how big or small an account. Through her monthly challenges that also tie in with her very insightful tips in her newsletter, Lucia has helped me and countless other aspiring photographers to progress their craft and step up the quality of their work - both from a styling/photography point of view as well as from a social media growth aspect. She also generously shares information about challenges organised by other creatives such as her, which truly expand my exposure and network. I am so pleased and proud to be a part of Lucia's growing community and look forward to each of her instagram challenges and newsletters

Aisha from @akif_aisha
"A few months back, when I decided to jump into the beautiful world of food photography, like any novice, I started researching to learn the basics. I found Lucia through Pinterest and soon became an ardent follower of hers on Instagram. From her tutorials, I learnt a lot of basics which is the most important step. Being a fresher, I found her guidance the most easiest to follow. The way she communicates is so easy and transparent that you immediately get the instant connect. Her choice of images are pretty simple and straightforward that you fall in love with her style over and over again and moreover your interest in food photography just blooms. Its not easy to find someone who would never shy from answering all your doubts...that's what makes Lucia extra special and a true inspiration"

I am a food photographer and a founder of Healthy Goodies by Lucia. I've helped hundreds of food photographers and bloggers make progress and learn new skills through my free Food Photography Learning Journey Program.
Starting the food photography journey on your own is overwhelming, stressful and discouraging. It wasn't different for me either. I was stuck and I wanted to give up so many times. As a solution to this, I wanted to be part of some community and get clear on what to learn. That's why I joined courses. Some of them weren’t exactly what I expected, some of them were totally worth it. But attending many courses is really expensive!
For this reason I created this club...
To help you achieve your creative goals, while being part of a community where you can learn new things constantly step by step, be in a safe environment where your doubts and questions get answered and have direct support and guidance you on your food photography journey.
There, you can also have fun, find new friends, and celebrate every achievement and progress you make.
-Nadia from @dr_nadiafazal
"Lucia is such a beautiful and kind soul. She is one of the first photographers I started following. Her newsletters are so well written and informative. Before that, I didn't have much idea about food styling, light, composition or color scheme. Now I can see the difference in the pictures I take, thanks to Lucia. All her challenges are well thought of and very creative and she always gives feedback on your pictures even though she get thousands of entries. It is just a starting for me, but I hope to learn and grow more with the help of dearest Lucia."
-Shuchi from @indianfusionkitchenrecipes
"Lucia has been one of the first food photographers I came across when I started my journey with food photography. I am still learning and her behind the scene tutorials help me a lot. I didn’t know that placing a board and blocking some light could do wonders. There is so much more to learn about the light, that I wait for her next post..When she announced her website, I was so excited to know that finally someone is teaching what I have been looking for. She is so helpful and is always available to chat, not just that she is such a sweet and kind hearted person to talk to! In the nutshell, she is my goto person for any photography doubts, check out her page and you will be impressed"
Do it yourself
You can learn food photography by yourself, choosing from thousands of blog posts and videos on YouTube, which don't really dive into the core but rather provide you with general information about the topic;
Join other courses
You can attend some courses, which is a great way to learn (don’t get me wrong, as I am a huge fan of courses), but they are quite expensive, so you spend lots of money and you are not sure whether you get the value you expect at the end;
join our club
Or you can join our club and start progressing by learning new skills constantly each month. Having me and other members helping you with constructive feedback, and clearing all your doubts. So, instead of wasting time on finding a solution for your problem, you can invest your time into building the skills and confidence you want;

-Shehla from @shehla_diaries
"I just started my food photography and luckily I joined Lucia for her monthly challenges on Instagram. I thought it will be just for fun but later I realized that it is a journey which helped me to learn so many new tricks and techniques to take my skill to another level. Whether it was the golden triangle or discussing and focusing on negative space she has so much to offer and happy to guide and teach her fellow photographers. Her newsletters are the one I wait for on Sundays and her new Instagram challenges are something I always look forward to. She focuses on practicing technical skills which are a key to improve your photography. Can’t wait for her new course to start in December which focuses on basic photography tools and will learn from her BTS videos to improve my skills."
-Solli from @solli_food
"Lucia is not only a great food photographer, she also has the amazing talent to share her knowledge with an encouraging approach. I discovered Lucia through her monthly food photo challenges and ever since I've been following her account and also participating in her challenges. While there are already many challenges out there I found hers to be unique as she is generous with tutorials and sharing her knowledge. At times I end up doing the same style of phots but by participating in Lucia's challenges I stepped out of my comfort zone and learned new things. Her newsletters and teaching materials are packed with useful information and tips. She puts lots of time and work into all the material she is producing and sharing and that's easy to tell through its quality and her engagement with her subscribers and photographers that are participating in her challenges."

-Rajeshwari from @kitchen_o_rama
"I am like a lot of newbies who started their food photography journey during Covid-19 crisis. I have been doing food photography for almost 7 months now. I started with my phone camera and was excited to see all the gorgeous photos by super talented creatives out there. But, I was curious to know how did people take such gorgeous photos.. and one of my IG buddies reccomended that I participate in the food phot challenges that happen on IG.. but the million dollar question was .. “ which one?” My search landed me to Lucia’s IG page.
Boy, was I thrilled!!! I checked her blog and immediately signed up for her newsletter. I have been with Lucia for past 5 months and I have learned sooo much!!! Lucia is an awesome creative who is generous and gives back to the community the wealth of knowledge she possesses. Her newsletters are loaded with educational materials that , when you start applying into your photography... you start seeing results... she not only teaches you how to do certain things but also the “Why” behind it!!!
Her IG photography challenges are phenomenal. They truely challenge you to think outside the box, practise your skills and get better with each challenge."

-Nesa from @nesaasgari_studio
I remember when I planned to have a second start on my Instagram page searching on Instagram was the first thing to follow the newest trends. It was the time that I met Lucia’s page. The thing that was interesting to me was the challenges she hosted and the more interesting was the attention she paid to each and every entry. It was not important for her how perfect and professional the entries were thus from her point of view all that mattered was the efforts behind each one. Besides she had the teaching plan that generously shared her newsletters related to each challenge so everyone could have a clearer perspective of what they were shooting before having a contribution to the challenges. To me it is really exciting to contribute to her planned challenges especially when one of my entries was amongst the final images chosen by her and the guest judge. Following Lucia and her growing community she had the focus on made me serious as a new and busy mother to base my own business plan for near future. That was the time she published a newsletter and a free workbook about how to build a moodboard intending to evoke the real style each and every photographer tends to achieve and the way one can have a growing Instagram page. The most interesting and shining thing about her was her passion to follow what she had started. As from the first day I met her on Instagram she had approximately a 3000 member community and after some months she could pass 10k real followers which everybody knows is not such an easy job these days!
To be brief, to me, Lucia is a role model in today world of photography because after seeing too many perfect and successful people that are doing photography as their profession she is still the one that is encouraging the new comers with lack of self-confidence.
