What You Will Learn?

  • Are you still overwhelmed by the gazillion buttons on your camera? or maybe you just purchased a DSLR or mirrorless camera for your product photography and you need a helping hand? This class might help with all of that :).
  • Hi! My name is Rose. I am a food and product photographer. Most of my work is dedicated to helping small businesses increase sales and online presence through scroll stopping product photos. I also do virtual workshops for online sellers who want to DIY their photoshoots and just last year I had the honor and privilege to become one of Skillshare’s top teachers. I created this class to demystify the most technically complex part of my product photography journey, camera settings..
  • You might have heard or read the saying "your camera doesn't take photos, you do". It's cheesy but it's true! .
  • I created this class to make product photography and camera settings less intimidating. My goal is to help you be more comfortable and confident in using your camera. If you are shooting in auto mode, My hope is to help you ease into full manual mode where you have more creative control. .
  • What you'll learn:.
  • Who is this class for?.
  • -Product Photographers.
  • -Beginner Photographers.

  • By the end of this class, you will have a better understanding of the essential camera settings and how you can use it with artistic intention. My goal is to turn those scary settings and mind boggling numbers to friendly tools that will aid your creativity and vision. .
  • The main focus of this class is camera settings but if you need help and guidance on product styling, props, lighting, composition and flat lay product photography, I highly recommend these other classes: .
  • Product Photography: A Beginner’s Guide to Props and Styling.
  • Product Photography: A Beginner’s Guide to Lighting.
  • Product Photography: How to Use Composition for Impactful Photos.
  • Product Photography: How to Make Flat Lays for Clothes.
