I'd hire Andrew. I've watched the first half and I find that this is a good class and conversation about the commercial photography business, Food Photography or otherwise. It is also a classic case of being authentic and making that a part of what you offer as a photographer. I really appreciate hearing what I did from another New Yorker. There are things, either indirectly suggested or not said at all, that resonate with me, as another person from the area, that piqued my interest and resulted in holding my attention longer.
This was not the information I was wanting to learn . The trailer was not helpful in determing the actual content of this video. Although it is well done if this is the information one is wanting... Was not helpful for my needs...
This is my third Andrew Scrivani course. He has a great teaching style. Andrew is easy to follow, loves what he does and is able to get you fired up about food photography. There are some specifics about money and how to proceed in the career that I found really useful.
Excellent course. It was like having a 2 day consulting meeting with Andrew.
While I'm not quite ready to focus my business on food photography, this class gave me a much clearer idea of what options and challenges there are in the food photography industry. Andrew covered everything from what jobs might be like when starting out on a tight budget to what options open up as the photographer becomes more experienced and successful. I already did my own internet research about the food photography business before the class, but this was more comprehensive and easy to understand in a short amount of time. Now I feel more confident about setting my business goals, who to look for to collaborate with on projects and eventually the kinds of clients I'd like to work with. He also gave many tips that are immediately applicable in my current photography business that isn't yet focused on food.
I'm not a food photographer. And have no plans being the one. But this is business course for photographers of incredible value. It could work for so many genres of photography. Take two :)
Thanks Andrew for a wonderful class, very informative and thanks for your personal deep insights into the commercial world. Watching it live here in INDIA.
Excellent class from our favourite food photographer. Thoroughly recommended. Even if not starting a foofd business, so much is to be gained here.
A very thorough and well-rounded approach to the details of building a successful business as a food photographer. I feel like it gave me the experienced insider's information I needed to get moving in the right direction and avoid costly mistakes, which for me it was easily worth the price of the class. Andrew's delivery is personable and enjoyable; you get that he's trying to help you succeed if you're willing to do the work.
I highly recommend this course! Andrew is an engaging and thoroughly knowledgable teacher. This class is less about how to photograph food - although there are some terrific tips - and more about the "nuts and bolts" or rather, "bread and butter" of running a successful business. A lot of the information is relevant to business in general, but the specific tips about food photography are especially exciting to implement! I found the hands-on portion during the morning of day 2 especially helpful in assimilating the general or more abstract ideas covered in day 1, which laid a fantastic foundation. 5 stars!
Andrew is not only a funny, incredibly entertaining person, he's a seriously great teacher. Being in the live studio audience for this class was such a treat. I was able to learn a lot of the nitty gritty lived-in details of what it takes to be a successful food photographer. Things that are hard to come by in books and online! I would highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to take their passion to the next step: making a living.
Great class and would highly recommend it to food photographers looking to make a name for themselves in the business. Andrew Scrivani is as funny as he is talented!
Andrew is truly a master of his craft and his background as an educator makes him perfect to teach this class. He covers the ins and outs of food photography from the business perspective during all phases of the shoot. I learned so much and couldn't recommend this class enough.
Food photography is such a unique beast in the photography world. Andrew breaks down the business side of it very clearly and takes the mystery out of the behind the curtain process. I really appreciated how transparent he was and that he added so many real life scenarios to illustrate. Excellent class worth the time and investment for sure.
Andrew is an incredible instructor. There is so much to commercial food photography that I could never understand had I tried to learn it on my own. He lays out the information from the ground up in a very easy to understand manner. This class is a must for those venturing into commercial food photography and for those who are already on that path!!
A Must - Take course for anyone considering food photography as a career!
This course is amazing! Andrew Scrivani brings such wealth of knowledge, experience and practical tips into this course. and his teaching style is engaging and dynamic. A must-have for those who want to venture into commercial food photography! Highly recommend!
Really good class for the business of commercial photography. Not JUST food photography. Thanks Andrew! Awesome speaker.
This is a essential course for food photographers looking to enter the business profesion or for those that wish to up their game. Andrew digs into meat and potatoes of a very complex market. I can't recommend this class enough!
It helps a lot, thank you and best of luck.
I have taken Andrew's class before, but this business course is a very valuable add on. Great, Great information.
