𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 (see below for a much more detailed course overview)
In this class for students with some background in the use of manual DSLR or mirrorless cameras, you'll study food photography as a means to learn about photographic lighting and composition and to build upon and strengthen your manual photography skills.  By the end of the class, you'll have an impressive portfolio of food photos! (𝘉𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸!)

1) Students who take these classes come into the class with varying comfort levels with their photography skills. Those who are already adept at working in manual mode won’t need to sit through the technical DSLR explanations again, while those who need a few extra reminders can watch the refresher videos to catch up. 
2) Can’t get to the store right away to pick up the ingredients you need photos and need a couple of extra days to pull it all together? No problem! The lessons will be here waiting for you.
3) You’ll receive plenty of personalized instructor feedback, as I'll make you a new video each week to respond to the photos you submit for that week’s assignment.
4) The ability to pause and rewind is super helpful and enables you to take in the lessons at your own pace. You can rewatch the videos and even pause and start as you’re going through the hands-on exercises. 

***𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: I will be offering two food photography flex classes. This one is for DSLR photographers (or those with mirrorless cameras with manual functions) who want to build on their manual photography skills while creating professional-looking food photos. My other food photography flex class is for users of any camera, including phones, and is less technically intense. If you don’t have a DSLR or comparable camera or don’t have experience with yours if you do have one, I recommend the other class. I also offer a flex class on DSLR photography if you want to start there instead. 

𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗦:
You should have already taken a class on (or be familiar with) how to use your camera in manual mode. More than anything, you already have some experience adjusting the f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO. Don't worry, though–refresher content is provided for those who need it!
************************************************
𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:
This is a fairly rigorous class in which you’ll combine your manual photography skills of exposure and focusing with new knowledge of lighting, composition, and working with food. You’ll also try your hand at photo editing to create impressive floating food images. Be sure to see the required equipment and supplies listed below! If you are looking for something less intense, I recommend my upcoming class: Food Photography with Any Camera (which is also a flex format class like this one).

You will not need to prepare any recipes in this class, although you are welcome to do so if you wish. Store-bought food will suffice, and I will provide you with recommendations.

We’ll be doing some photo editing with a free online program called Photopea.  The editing features in Photopea tend to be identical to those in Photoshop, so if you have Photoshop, you’re welcome (in fact encouraged) to use that instead!

𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗫 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧 (𝟴 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗦):
𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀: New video lessons will be posted to the classroom each Monday morning by 10am Eastern time.

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Each week you’ll be assigned one or more photo challenges to complete and share with the teacher. The teacher will provide students with video feedback about their photo assignments each week.

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀: You’ll be given photos to analyze based on the topics we cover.

𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Your interaction will primarily be with the teacher, as there may or may not be other students in your section of the class. You are welcome to share photos you're happy with in the classroom, but it is not a requirement.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: I will be available throughout the week via the Outschool platform to answer any questions you might have about the assignment or how to use your camera to complete the assignment.

𝗥𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧:
☞ This class is for users of DSLR cameras or mirrorless cameras with the ability to use Manual Mode to adjust the f-stop, shutter speed and ISO. Please contact me if you are unsure as to whether or not your specific camera is compatible with the class.
