SMARTPHONE FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

Create amazing food images with just your smartphone

The Smartphone Food Photography course was created entirely by myself, Francesco Sapienza, an Italian professional food photographer based in New York.

Your camera is not THE problem

Is an incredible kitchen going to necessarily make you an incredible chef? Didn't think so.

Same goes for your camera. Most people start from the wrong end (the gear) and think a fantastic camera equals fantastic images. Not necessarily!

You need to learn lighting first!

If lighting is not good, nothing else matters!

12+ years experience

I'm a professional food photographer in New York and photography used to be a hobby.

Everybody kept telling me it's impossible to switch from engineering to photography at age 36. Guess what? Everybody was wrong.

I'm so passionate about teaching food photography because I wish a course like this one existed when I started out. I know it’s going to be a game changer for you!

Such a fantastic course! Francesco does a great job making all the information really approachable and accessible. Highly recommend this course especially to those who’ve always been interested in learning more about photography. This course will show you just how easy it can be to dive in with only a smartphone.

TOWARDS CREATING IMAGES

YOU NEVER THOUGHT WERE POSSIBLE

WITHOUT

EXPENSIVE AND COMPLICATED EQUIPMENT

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you don't find the answer to your question,

please get in touch and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

WHEN DOES THE COURSE START AND HOW LONG DO I HAVE ACCESS TO IT?

The course is accessible as soon as your enrollment is complete and you can take the course at your own pace. You'll have lifetime access to all the future versions of the course as well.

WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN THIS COURSE BEFORE INVESTING IN CAMERA GEAR?

Because if you don’t learn how to light your food subjects, not even a $10000 camera system will create great images. It’s like buying the most amazing pots and pans when you don’t really know how to cook and expecting the most incredible meals just because your cookware is great. Also, investing today to develop the fundamental skills you need will allow you to have a much deeper understanding of what gear you might need in the future and WHY that could make a difference. You are going to save a lot of money just by buying the right gear, instead of relying on trial and error.

I DON’T HAVE AN IPHONE, IS THIS COURSE GOING TO BE USEFUL FOR ME?

The course will help you immensely, no matter if you have a smartphone (Apple, Samsung, etc. any brand will do) or a professional camera system.

IS SIMILAR CONTENT AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE FOR FREE?

Youtube has more content on Food Photography than anybody will ever be able to consume. The issue is that you’ll need to spend countless hours looking for exactly what you need from different sources and you will not have a professional food photographer helping you via email and individual live mentoring (STANDARD, MAX and PRO courses). Smartphone Food Photography provides you with both very actionable advice that you can start using immediately AND the system behind great food photography. You will have a solid compass that will guide you to understanding food photography and taking great images in less than 2 hrs. On top of everything, you will also have me as your sparring partner to guide you. To my knowledge, there is nothing like Smartphone Food Photography out there, paid or free.

WHAT SKILLS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE COURSE AND GET RESULTS?

No skills are required, all you need to get started and practice is:

1) A smartphone

2) A window - If you are not sure the window you have available will work, please reach out to me within 30 days of enrolling and I’ll help you find a solution or fully refund you.

CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?

Yes, you can! Smartphone Food Photography has a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Just reach out to me no later than 30 days after enrolling for a full refund, no questions asked!

This course is amazing!! It gave me so much understanding for the entire food photography process. The balance between very concrete advice and fundamental knowledge was perfect for me, and going through the entire course was a breeze. Engaging and entertaining at the same time.

Francesco’s personal involvement through email and live session was extremely valuable. I didn’t expect to get so much from an online course at this price!

I could not recommend this course enough to anyone who wants to take better food photos! It even inspired me to photograph other things as well using Francesco’s method and advice.

Thanks again Francesco!

Francesco, I wish someone had told me what food photography is really about, I had no idea I could understand these concepts so fast and put them to practice with just my smartphone. This course is so actionable and really cuts to the chase, a real game changer that doesn’t require any investment in camera equipment!
