Helping food photographers learn to create captivating videos
You’re about to turbocharge your ability to tell visual stories and bring a whole new energy to your portfolio.
Increasing your income streams just got a LOT more fun.
Are you a food photographer who wants to:
It’s all 100% possible.
Video is HOT
If you’re a food photographer, you know that video is in high demand in all its formats.
GIFs, stop motion, live streams, recipe videos, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s next!
And maybe you’re like a lot of folks
I know and you have:
How do I know?
Because these are the things I hear from people in our community every day.
They’ve told me they want:
A quick (but thorough) educational path to learning video
An ability to create videos for their portfolio as you’re learning new skills
Lessons that break things down into small, actionable steps with accountability and motivation built-in
A curriculum for people working from home who have limited space and budget for gear
And I feel ya!
In 2016, the VP of Marketing for a big West Coast food brand asked me, “Can you make us a video for our social media?”
Not knowing what I didn’t know, I said, “Yes!” That was both a blessing and a curse.
It was a curse because I delivered a video with weird transitions, inconsistent color, and a complete lack of story, among other issues. I cringe thinking about it. That video did not perform well when they shared it online and they didn’t hire me to make any more videos.
But that moment was also a blessing because it kickstarted my journey into learning and falling in love with video production and editing. It’s also helped me earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from creating videos for clients.
I knew I was capable of figuring out video just like I’d figured out photography. And YOU are, too!
That’s why I created
Food in Motion
Video is here to stay, and it’s an invaluable
tool in today’s world of online media.

Your Course Curriculum
The bite-sized lessons start with the most essential element of successful videos:
