Frequently asked questions

What gear do I need?

A camera, a tripod, one flash or a continuous light rated at 60W or more, and inexpensive black cardboard. I use a Godox AD200.

Is this mini-course right for me?

It is for photographers and creators who want better lighting and cinematic food photos. You should already understand ISO, shutter speed and aperture.

Does it cover more than one setup?

We recreate one drink photo from start to finish, using lighting principles you can apply to other shoots.

Which editing software do you use?

Adobe Camera Raw / Lightroom and Photoshop, with a Capture One preview during the shoot.

What language is the course in?

The lessons are in English. You can turn on subtitles in the Gumroad video player.

Where will I access my course?
