Hi, I’m Ted Todorov!
I’m a professional photographer and I have been doing professional photography for 15 years. I’ve been shooting many hotels, restaurants, restaurant menus, a lot of food.
And over my practice I realized that the potential of the mobile phone is huge. And this was one of the reasons that I created this course for.

Who’s this course for?

If you’re an instagrammer this is the right course for you.
If you’re a food lover, food bloggers or a chef this course is also for you.

This course is based on pure knowledge, less talking, more action.
It is going to teach you everything that you need to know in order to take stunning, beautiful food photographs with your mobile phone at home on a budget.

Pay a close attention to the details

I break down the whole photo shooting process into tiny details.
I’m going to show you and teach you how one composition could be shot with 5 different light angles and how the same composition could be illuminated with 3 different cheap lighting setups, I’m going to show you how to use the cheapest possible reflectors and defusers. And I’m doing all this, because I want you to know that one scene could be illuminated in different ways, with different light sources and even with the cheapest light, you’re still going to be able to take a fantastic shot.

In this course I’m going to show you all the mistakes that should be avoided. Again… this course is based on pure knowledge and practice.

The Smartphone Revolution

If you compare $400 investment on mobile food photography equipment against $5000 or $10000 or maybe even $15000 on a professional equipment for food photography the final result would be almost the same when it comes to websites, Instagram, Facebook or any other online presentation.

Why mobile food photography?

Because with the mobile food photography you learn much faster and you are much more effective and everything happens much easier with a little investment.

If you compare $400 investment on mobile food photography equipment against $5000 or $10000 or maybe even $15000 on a professional equipment for food photography the final result would be almost the same when it comes to websites, Instagram, Facebook or any other online presentation.

You can not tell the difference. Of course if you need the image for print, let’s say for billboard or a magazine, you can tell the difference then, because the professional cameras, that’s the way they have been designed – the potential of the cameras, the quality of the cameras is completely different than the mobile phones.

But again, if you need the image for your food blog or your Instagram account, for Facebook, for your personal usage, then the mobile food photography is on the right spot. This is the thing that you need.

That’s why, if you want to save money, time, nerves, you’d better start with mobile food photography. You’d better learn what ISO is, what shutter speed is, what shallow depth of field is, how to use the daylight as a light source, how to use artificial constant light, how to compose your scenes, how to illuminate your scenes, how to choose the right backdrop for your scenes, how to turn an idea into a concept and to achive final results like the ones that you see, because the mobile food photography is the entry level, this is the doorway to the world of the professional cameras.

With mobile food photography you learn faster, you take the images much faster and easier, you make the composition much faster and easier, you don’t need any tethering cables, you don’t need a computer to see the scene and to make your life easier.

The mobile phone gives you lot of flexibility and opportunities. Take advantage of them. And I’m going to show you how to do it. And beside that, you edit the image much faster and much easier and the final step to upload the image is also faster and easier.

I think that all these benefits a quite enough to think twice when it comes to food photography courses.

Edit like a pro

The good preparation saves you time when it comes to editing.

The choice of the proper light source and it’s position, the proper camera settings, along with a good composition and the proper ratio will guarantee you a nice image that you won’t need much time to spend on editing. You will find all that in the course.

But in the course you’re also going to see and learn how all the images in this section have been taken and edited and you’re going to witness the entire process.

Everything is perfectly explained in details. You will be surprised how easy it is to turn yourself into a professional photographer and editor.

Mobile food photography is the entry level... or does it?

You know what happens? These days many people buy professional cameras, thinking that once they buy a professional camera they will start taking amazing food photos with the camera. Unfortunately in the real life it dosen’t happen this way, the reality is different.
