Hi, I am a food photographer in the UK, based in London and the South East of England. My online courses provide a learning environment enabling you to reach your full potential in food photography. I teach creative food photography, sharing my knowledge experience and passion for food. I have written, filmed and created this online version of my popular food photography courses that I have been running since 2015. I have taught many individuals and food companies and through that experience have created a program of online courses which teaches the essential and important skills for food photography. I have worked with many different food companies and publishers on a huge variety of food projects and I love enabling those who are wanting to improve their food photography skills to reach their full potential in photographing food. I have taught at colleges on Photography and Leiths School of Food and Wine on Food Photography running weekend courses. I enjoy interacting and giving positive feedback to those studying on my course. Thank you for your time and interest in my online courses, Will.

I started out as a complete beginner in using a dslr camera. Will’s course has given me a great grounding and understanding of the camera settings helpful to use for food photography. As a result I now feel confident creating different shots and moods. The course videos are easy to follow and focus on different elements to try in stages. The assignments were helpful to review each skill and Will’s positive encouragement and guidance directed the areas to improve whilst providing lots of valuable tips. Definitely recommend and so pleased I signed up.

The aim of this course for me was to improve my food photography skills, have a better understanding of camera settings and to be able to advise GCSE students on how to take better pictures of their food. I have achieved this through the detailed videos, booklet and feedback on this course. I would thoroughly recommend it!

I really enjoyed my experience on this course. The segments are nicely grouped together and easy to follow. Will presents the information very clearly with great examples making even more complicated camera settings easy to learn. It was great having small assignments at the end of each segment, it really gave me an opportunity to reflect on what I had learnt and I really saw an improvement in my work each time. This would be perfect for anyone with or without camera skills who wants to apply it to food, Will clearly has key knowledge that anyone would find valuable if going into this area.
