Description

This module shows how to shoot premium-looking food images using only a modern smartphone and inexpensive tools. You will learn manual camera apps for ISO, shutter, and focus lock to avoid motion blur and color shifts. A portable lighting lesson demonstrates clamp lights, LED panels, and diffusion hacks using parchment paper or shower curtains. You’ll practice background selection with peel-and-stick vinyls, tiles, and wood boards for quick scene changes. The course covers perspective control and how to keep lines straight in flat-lays without a tripod. You will receive mobile presets designed to protect skin tones of meats and the greens of herbs. A social delivery section teaches optimal crop ratios, compression settings, and alt text for accessibility. You’ll complete a three-part project: breakfast flat-lay, burger hero, and moody dessert, all shot on a phone. Included are caption prompts and a posting calendar to help you launch a consistent brand look. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable phone-only workflow suitable for cafés, home bakers, and delivery brands.
