the most interactive food photography learning community ...
Learn and improve your food photography step by step, achieve your creative goals, build your amazing photography business & career, while being part of our inspiring and supportive community of like-minded creatives from all over the world.
You fell in love with food photography, but you have no idea what to learn and where to start...
You find some free resources, but you spent hours on watching / reading them and you are starting to feel overwhelmed...
Then, you put it in practice. But, how do you know you did it correctly? You don't have anyone who could give you feedback...
Well, a course could be a solution, but it covers only a certain topic, and after it ends, you don't have support anymore. And you are back , with tons of questions about everything... simply, you need long term guidance!
You find out that you REALLY want to do food photography professionally one day! But you realize that you can't spend years on trial & error! How to speed up this process of learning?
So, you might share it on instagram and see what others say, or you delete it, because you are not 100% sure you like it. And then, you repeat the same process over and over again.
And all of this is just holding you back from your potential
you must know that you are not alone. This is how I felt when I started. Success comes when you are clear about what you want to achieve, you feel motivated, inspired, supported and guided... It comes from doing little actions every day...
And this is where we will start together, so let me introduce...

Deborah from Malaysia
"It’s been so nice having Lucia as our mentor / ‘sifu’ / ‘guru’ since I’ve joined your HG club! I always look forward to all our coffee calls and love the networking sessions because they work best for me in this kind of learning environment (besides studying notes and doing assignments) - which is to be able to connect face to face with a community of food photographers who are passionate about what they do, and whom I can also learn from in this journey together. It feels nice to be accountable, to be in a group and with a mentor like Lucia that is so supportive and has got my back. Thank you also for all your helpful insights and tips on how I can do better in my photography skills and also from the business/entrepreneur point of view."

The club is based on these three pillars
In the Members' Club, you can learn new skills, work strategically and constantly towards your goals, gain the confidence you deserve and achieve your creative dreams.
I took my 8 years of professional corporate experience in Human Resources and merged it with the best practices and elements to create a complete learning experience for you.
Learning by doing
Our creative challenges and various assignments will help you practice what you learn in the courses, and the masterclass will show you exactly, how to apply theory into practice.
CONSISTENT ACTION
To learn new skills and make progress, you need to be consistent in what you do. The content in our club is released step-by-step, week after week. This way you won't get overwhelmed with tons of new information.
interactive COMMUNITY
Our community has an important role in achieving your goal and enjoying that journey. You learn faster when you feel inspired, motivated and guided, when you interact with people who actually understand what you are going through.
get clarity and build your self-confidence to achieve your goals
The club will help you to build self-confidence you need and get clear about your food photography goals. We have regular goal setting sessions to help you stay on track during this process.
stay calm and get your creative abundance flow to you
How does it feel to have your photography trainer who answers your questions, clears your doubts, shows you how to do things, so you can stay calm, relaxed, make your creative juices flowing, and focus on creating stunning images?

No more confusion about what to learn. The content in the Members' Club is planned and scheduled so that you can learn step by step everything that is relevant for your first years in food photography.

The way how our Members' Club works will help you to progress much faster, and see real improvements in a short time. Our Club is very interactive, you get regular feedback about your images and amazing community that supports and motivates you.
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
Silvana from italy
As for so many, 2020 has been for me a year of deep introspection. The lockdown, the sudden abrupt changes, the striking evidence that life is too short to leave anything behind you really want to do. On this path I realized I had neglected my creativity for way too long and it was time to give my old blogging passions a new chance. On my quest for Food Photography classes, I have come across Lucia’s newly starting Member’s Club. I got in touch with her and her reply has been so lovely, I have signed in within minutes! And this was the best decision I could ever make.
One month on and I have gone from a totally unknowing newbie to the awareness of a universe of new things to learn. Within days the improvements have been massive and tangible. I realize the road ahead might be long, nevertheless the progress keeps me motivated and excited for every new little achievement.
Lucia’s kind, warm and inspiring energy has managed to create a fantastic community of passionate, enthusiastic, supportive, likeminded spirits I am extremely proud and happy to call myself part of.

Petra from Austria
I have started not long ago and since then I have studied many resoures, but what really made a difference is the Member's Club. As soon as I saw the structure of the club I was sure that I have to become a member. Where else could I get private feedback about my pictures, or answers for all of my questions on a monthly basis?
I am a member of the club from the begining and it was one of the best choices I have ever made. Member's Club provides so much valuable content! Much more than I could have expected before! It is perfectly tailored to make me work consistently and effectively. I feel very motivated and supported. We have created a great comunity of people who share their progress and strugles as well.
If I have to point out one thing which I think is the best about Member's Club, it would be it's interactivity. Anything what makes me insecure is being solved here. I am getting answers for any questions I can think of (and to be honest as the beginer I have a lot of them) and last but not least the feedback about my work is priceless!
In less then two months I have learned how to do action shots, or everything I need to know when starting my business. And I am actually doing it! Looking forward to each and every month which is ahead of me!

I am an award-winning, food photographer and founder of Healthy Goodies by Lucia I've helped thousand of food photographers 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.
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;
or try my free learning program first
If you want to make sure that me and the Member's Club are a good match for you, subscribe to my free program - Food Photography Learning Journey, and let me help you start making progress you want!
Prathi from Germany
I started documenting my experiments in the kitchen and posting them as a hobby. Now it was time for me to elevate this hobby into something more, something which not only satisfies the creative hunger but which can also give me an option of a successful independent career. That's when I turned to Lucia and signed up for the members club in December 2020. Since then it has been such a fantastic learning experience (scroll down my Instagram and you would know).
Apart from structured classes, insights into the food photography world, there is a wonderful community that helps you in every possible way. You also get to meet industry experts and learn from their journey and expertise. I highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about taking their creativity to the next level.
