A video-based course written and hosted by William Reavell, a food photographer. Aimed at anyone working with their own food projects at home and marketing teams in the food and hospitality sector.

Together we will teach and share our knowledge of working with food for the camera. Lessons and topics will be added, building a valuable resource of knowledge and skills.

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.
