This session teaches how to make everyday food and drinks look appealing using accessible, repeatable methods. You'll show how to build a scene, how to use light to reveal texture, and how to create mood with minimal props. These techniques work anywhere — at home, in a café, or wherever someone happens to be shooting.

This class includes a dedicated 30 minutes of Q&A directly with Jack Hollingsworth.
