So who's teaching you all this stuff?
Hey there, I'm Lauren. I lead an awesome community of ambitious food photographers and bloggers on my website That's Sage, where I help them understand their camera, find their style and start shooting their best work. I've taught more than 400 students in my Manual Mode Master program, and as a food photographer I've built a portfolio of dream clients.
But things weren't always that way. Just a few years ago I was struggling to find my groove with food photography, shooting the same pictures again and again, feeling deflated, uninspired and frustrated.
Since implementing the techniques I'm teaching you in Food Composed, I've grown my food blog to hundreds of thousands of views a month, my Instagram following exploded to over 20k in just one year, and I landed my dream clients that allowed me to take my food photography career full time.
So whether you're a complete beginner with your food photography, or you're looking for a way to challenge yourself and take that next step in your work, Food Composed will become THE food photography masterclass that changes everything for you.

I take all my pictures on my smartphone, do I need to have a DSLR to take this course? There's no need to have a DSLR to take this course and get a lot of value out of it. We are focussing on composition and styling, so it's more about how you set up your food and props to build your photo, and less about the camera you use to take the photo.
What format is the course delivered in? The course is delivered in video lessons, so you can follow along easily. There are also some actionable worksheets to help you put the techniques into practise.
Will this course be available again in the future? Yes, but enrollment won't be open again for a few months.

Can I find this information free online? You can find pretty much anything online, but that doesn't mean it's good quality, or what you really need. You could spend hours online looking for the right techniques to get you started, and then still find it was a waste of time. Food Composed is the system I use to compose my own work, and I've packaged it ALL up for you, so you can spend less time trying to find what you need, and more time shooting!
