Should You Study Food Photography?
Are food photography workshops really worth the time, effort and investment? In this blog post I share my honest opinion about who should consider them and who should steer well clear!
Rhubarb is SO underrated and I can’t understand why! I mean, it’s a vegetable that acts like a super tart and delicious fruit and looks like Spring on a plate with a colour that ranges from blush to deep rich pink! Though there are 101 ways to eat rhubarb, my favourite is using it in an easy, simple warm crumble!

Granted, you can enjoy this easy and adaptable vegan tortilla wrap recipe any time, but it’s so nourishing, filling - thanks to the beans, avocado and plantain - and packed full of plant-based goodness, that it’s best enjoyed at the start of the day, to ensure you feel energised and ready for an action packed weekend.
Read MoreAs food photographers, food bloggers and food content creators we have to face facts - the social media landscape is changing and with it, how we share content! Where once ‘only’ good photos and delicious recipes were needed to get noticed, we now need to know how to capture great photos, write stellar recipes and film drool-worthy video content - especially short form video content (think TikTok and Instagram Reels) - to ensure we stand out from the crowd!

These are questions I get asked by my ecourse students. mentoring clients and online community every single week! And, I understand why, it’s so confusing to know what to charge when there aren’t any set standards or any clear income guidelines available.
Many of the creatives I work with come to food photography after years in a 9-5 job, where salaries are generally streamlined, transparent and clear. The world of freelance work - especially the world of freelance food photography work (or any photography or creative profession, frankly), is much more muddled when it comes to one’s income. It’s why I wrote this bog post, to inform you what you can expect to make as a food photographer and answer as many of your money questions as I can in the process!

And gosh, I had SO much fun creating (and eating) this recipe from her book. Moreover, I just know you’ll love browsing through and cooking from it too! Now, what I’ll do is share a little more about the book, as well as the tomato salad recipe I chose before outlining how YOU can win yourself a copy of Donna’s cookbook. Sound good?
