Food Photography Classes Online

Great work!

Very informative! Andrew Scrivani is an amazing artist who is very generous with all the information in this course. I feel motivated and more confident in my work. Food photography has so many layers, and Mr. Scrivani peeled it back like an onion.

I always love a good Scivani class. This one didn't disappoint. I have always believed that the best camera is the one in your hand and now I can feel a bit more comfortable shooting with my iPhone. tricks and tips were invaluable...also love his honesty

Excellent information and insight from a professinal who knows his craft well and is happy to share his experience with others

Awesome work done in the restaurant in a tight space with limited light. The actual shots taken and then spliced throughout the video were very helpful to see how you were both composing in camera. What a fun shoot!

Loved watching this and found it interesting and helpful.

AWESOME. So creative and so relevant in food photography. The models also do match with the style of the restaurant. Color pallet and shadows got my attention in this photo shoot. Thanks!

This class is the best class on photography on Creative Live, and is not only about food. Mr. Scrivani is a great artist and a great instructor, who generously shared his knowledge, experience, and expertise with students.

A very enjoyable class and easy to follow. Love his passion and the giving back of his knowledge

I loved this fast class, the whole course was very complete but in this fast class you can easily get the idea of the business!

Food photography isn't my niche, but I still like taking nice photos of my food with my phone for personal use. I picked up a couple good tips in this class that have already made my food photos look better. In particular, the recommendations for the table-top size portable light and not shooting in the same direction as the light.

Just finished watching T minus 3 hours until I have to run off for a shoot. I came across this literally the day before I was to shoot an editorial for a guest chef at a hotel. After watching I can say I’ve got a few more ideas and approaches I will try out today (shoot day). I am just starting out and this course on editorial food photography is definitely something I would recommend to anyone going into, or already in this field.

This is an Intro class, so he quickly covers a variety of content, going over new equipment, demonstrating shooting with an iPhone, then editing on that phone using Lightroom, things to avoid, then on to using Social Media wisely for business. Andrew has a career that has spanned over 20 years, and multiple books and he has not only remained relevant during that time, moving from film to digital, but is thriving in this post-digital era. He isn't caught up on a specific camera or brand and is literally showing us how we can be competitive using the phone in our pockets. I would recommend this Intro class and look forward to taking more of his classes in the near future.

More of a thought than a review, Fot the gentleman asking about taking photos from his wheel chair, what about a set up on the floor, or low table?

I have a feeling that I lived through a story together with the presenters. This class gives a great insight into the food photographer's life - good practical aspect of how everything is working around. Many valuable tips and definitively inspirational ideas. Thank you!

Outstanding course! Although at first I wondered if I wanted to do a 14-hour course that my busy life would mean breaking up into smaller sections, I was so pleased at how each time I started up again it felt continuous. The instructor is really a great teacher, and his shared experiences were invaluable. I was sad when the course was finished. Thank you!

Big comprensive course about Food Fotography, Teacher/photographer is an expert in food photography. I think this course helps owners, bloggers or photographers/marketeers/creative agencies. The course does not become too technical, which is great. The course goes in all different area's preparation, the actual shoot, editing. It's complete big course and goes in detail.

I still found the teacher interesting while not becoming too technically and not using too much jargon. Was shooting more differen photographs so it was a nice introduction to this genre. Even when I dont use an Iphone and I had done different photo courses.

This is my initial impression as I am 1/3 the way through this course. I glanced at the reviews and am a bit surprised to see only 89% so I looked at some of the negative reviews. It always strikes me as funny when people say that the work of someone who is one of the top photographers in the field doesn't "cut it". That's like me, a medical nobody, criticizing a neurosurgeon on their technique. Others complain that it's too basic but apparently failed to notice the crowd that actually physically attended the class, many were only able to use their cameras on auto mode. so obviously the class was presented at the level of the attendees. I have a lot of experience using cameras so I skipped the one truly basic lesson without feeling cheated. This is a business of aesthetics in that there are guideposts but hard rules? Not so much. He has his methods and artistic values which include a high degree of integrity (all food that he shoots could be eaten afterwards, in other words no fake stuff, no toxic substances used). I respect that. I believe this would set a good foundation for a student to build upon to create their own style, just like mastery of any art has always been accomplished throughout history. Notable errors in terms of the video and audio only, from time to time the sound level drops out quite a bit and in lesson 19 around minute 11 to 12 or so , I have to ask if the pro camera person took a break and handed it to a security guard or something? The framing is all over the place and the zooming in and out could make some need motion sickness meds. Thus far no other issues.

Great course from the perspective of a professional. I feel like this should be advertised as more of a food photography using natural light course though and also it seems quite dated. She is talking about the previous recession so I think this course is at least 9 years old however the techniques don't date just the information on business.

I started shooting food during the Covid 19 quarantine, so came to cL to see what I could learn to up my game. This is the third of four available classes I've watched. While it has a lot of good nuggets worth watching for, at times it's hard to watch- literally in some cases. The instructor was visibly and admittedly very nervous, and on many of the day three segments cleared her throat incessantly. There are also a lot of weird still/frozen transition shots in day one, and enough of the footage is shot out of focus to make me wonder why in the many years since the class all or as many as possible of these distracting elements haven't been edited out. All that said, this food plus perspective is good to know if you're ever planning to try and work for a magazine. The instructor has a different take on food that the others don't. Her style is not like mine, but sometimes that's good to see something completely different. Perhaps cL will give this another trip through the editing bay before you see it so you'll have a better experience watching it than I did.

This course is excellent! I liked it so much. I got a lot of ideas. And, compared to other courses from other companies this one makes it easy to follow. And, of course the instructors are fantastic. They have the charisma I like to see in an instructor. Thanks!

Really engaging, personable and practical approach to teaching. It's often easy to forget that photography should be a fun activity when we're obsessing over getting 'a perfect shot'. Todd and Diane's advice is extremely practical, appliable and helpful. I absolutely loved watching and listening to them, and my photography, styling and preparatory skills have vastly improved since taking this course.

A good course by Mr. Scrivani and he provided alot of helpful information.

It is difficult to review this couple, she is very present but thats for a reason. She is amazing for her vision at styling. He is mostly repeating her ideas and comments. So a big tip: if he can be more focussing on the techinal details for example, lenses, aperture etc. (similar like the internet questions) this course can be one of the best courses.
