Market Opportunity
Food bloggers, restaurant owners, and food brands need better food photography. A course teaching: lighting, composition, styling, phone photography, editing — specifically for food — with video demonstrations, serves a niche willing to invest in skills.
The Idea
Create food photography and styling courses. Levels: smartphone food photography, professional camera techniques, food styling secrets, editing (Lightroom), restaurant menu photography. Screen-share + overhead demonstrations. Price $39–99.
Key to Success
- BEFORE/AFTER transformations sell the course — 'here's a sad burger photo, here's the same burger after styling and lighting'
- Include prop and background recommendations — food styling is as much about props as food
- Restaurant menu photography is a B2B upsell — restaurants pay $500–2,000 for menu photos
