It’s there that I got to teach our yearly 4-day advanced food photography, food styling, visual story telling and videography retreat together with food photographer, cookbook author and videographer, Viola Minerva Virtamo!
In today’s blog post I’d love to share some images and the behind the scenes details from the retreat with you! Sound good?
Read MoreThe way we live and work has completely changed over the last decade! Whereas before, going into an office from 9-5 was common place, now more and more people - myself included - are working from home full time. In part this is due to the pandemic and the seismic shift it brought about in the workplace. However it is also because with the rise of social media, many more people have had the opportunity to build small creative businesses and work for themselves at home.
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!
But creating engaging short form videos, especially at scale and particularly in the food space where lip syncing just won’t do, can feel overwhelming, am I right?! That’s why Silvia and I came up with the idea for the March 2023 London food photography, food styling and reel creation workshop….

Read MoreHow much should I charge for my food photography work? What kind of salary can or should I expect as a food photographer? 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!
