Hey Reader,

I can clearly remember this photoshoot. I was so embarrassed, but it brought me something amazing.

I shot this winter drink 9 years ago. Yes, I know it’s summer, so you’re probably not into winter drinks right now ☀️

The drink was delicious (and it landed on my blog), but I was struggling to get the images to look nice. I felt like they were missing something, I just wasn’t able to pinpoint what it was. The photos ended up looking dull and they were not reflecting the deliciousness of the drink. You can check the recipe and more images in this blog post.

After that photoshoot I started to dig deeper into how I can learn to recognize what’s not working in my images.

And I can honestly say that learning that changed my photography in the bst possible way.

• I was able to recognize what is off in my images
• I was able to fix my images
• I was able to work faster
• I avoided frustration
• I have fewer folders with images that I never want to share with anyone
• ​

So if you ask me, my ‘failed’ photoshoot was a success.

And I believe knowing how to read images and recognize what is and is not working is one of the biggest things you can do to improve your photos. Period.

For this exact reason I included an entire lesson on how to do that in the Food To Frame course to help my students not feel stuck like I did on that photoshoot in 2016.

If you want to learn how to recognize the things that are ruining your photos and how to make your images truly reflect the care and story behind your food, Food To Frame is exactly where you want to be.

We are focusing on understanding your images, knowing what to keep and what to change, and gaining the confidence to shoot with intention and clarity.

Plus, the course is designed to be pressure-free and supportive. Food To Frame is open all summer long, and I’d love for you to join us.
