I am so excited to introduce to you my monthly Food Photography Challenges. They are free for everyone and are designed to help you learn very specific skills in food photography.
These challenges are part of my Free Food Photography Learning Journey program, which offers a complete learning experience to achieve your food photography goals.
Today, I want to share with you an overview of the challenges for 2020. Each monthly theme is focused on a very specific area of food photography – whether it is a composition, light, colors or storytelling. To help you create your entries, I share valuable insights and behind the scenes each week in my newsletters.
