The problem

You cook beautiful food. So why do your photos fall flat?

You plate something gorgeous, snap a photo, and it looks dull, dark or nothing like it tasted. It isn't your cooking. No one ever showed you how to shoot food.

In 3 short days, Insy will.

The 3 days

Your 3 days, step by step

Day 1

See Your Craft

You'll leave with your first good-light photo.

Day 2

Style and Shoot Your Hero Dish

Plating, props and the three camera angles that make any dish look irresistible.

You'll leave with your hero shot and a before-and-after.

Day 3

Turn It Into a Reel

Film, edit and post a 15-second food reel using only your phone and a free app.

You'll leave with your first reel, published.
