I’ve just started the course and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. The way everything is explained so logically and practically is just great! I have only been studying photography seriously for a very short time and have so far tried to learn from YouTube videos because I didn’t want to spend hundreds on a course. Your course has filled in a lot of gaps for me and I’m really appreciative and at such an affordable price! Thank you again and again!

Linda's class was the perfect introduction to those feeling the pull of turning their hobby of taking casual food pictures into something more, and provides a strong foundation on which to continue to build skills, hone talents and launch yourself confidently into the business of food photography!
Magda Gregory
Every module was very well structured and easy to follow. I'm a visual learner, and I found the many examples to show how theory can be used in practise helpful. The weekly assignments pushed me to implement what I learned, instead of just trying to remember it in the future. I recommend this course to anyone that is interested in food photography - as a hobby or professionally.
Taryne Jakobi
I would highly recommend this course. Linda presents the material in a calm and succinct manner. The course covers the basics of food photography, with lovely assignments that complement the theory in a practical manner. I thoroughly enjoyed Linda, the assignments and course material.

Hi! I'm Linda, a food photographer based in the U.K.
Just a couple of years ago I only dreamed of calling myself a food photographer capable of creating a portfolio like the one I have today.
I know how hard it is to find an affordable course that will teach you the solid foundations you need to feel confident every time you pick up your camera, yet give you the creative freedom to apply the theory in your own creative way.
I understand the frustration of not being able to produce the images you see in your head, of not feeling anything when looking at your own images - but the worst part was not knowing why these things were happening to me.
This course is designed to help aspiring photographers like you overcome these same challenges and help you achieve that amazing feeling when you sit back and look at your images and realise that you are, in fact, a food photographer.
What's In The Course?
You'll find 8 core modules from using your camera in manual mode and working with natural light, to editing your images in Lightroom and creating an efficient workflow.
Each module is made up of multiple video lessons accompanied by practical assignments that will help you consolidate the theory and put it into action.
