FAQ

 

  • Essentially, yes! It's all about food, however, the themes will be set in such a way that you'll have lots of artistic freedom to interpret them in whichever way you like.

  • No, you can use a regular camera, an iPhone or smart phone camera or anything else you have at hand.

  • No, of course not. There's no pressure to “perform”. It's all about having fun and thinking outside the box. However, if at all possible I'd really recommend you try your hand at every theme to reap the benefits of regularly taking pictures, fine tuning your Instagram gallery and developing your visual story telling abilities.

  • I promise I'll look at all the images submitted, but I know it will be impossible for me to comment on each and every entry. However, if you'd like to study more closely with me I suggest you consider joining my online FOUNDATION course or my online FOOD REELS course and becoming part of my student insider community.

  • It depends. Please read your last few emails thoroughly as they will clearly state if you’ve pre-registered or not.

    Alternatively, to be on the safe side, feel free to register again below. You won’t get duplicates of my emails, so no worries there.
