Course
Vertical Video
As someone who fears technology, the advent of video as favored medium on social media was terrifying. I enrolled on Eva’s Vertical Video Course purely to glean an understanding of video, not really thinking I would use it.
Fast forward 6 months and my videos now command a far higher price bracket than any of my stills and are requested by over half of my current photography clients, I have also gained so many new clients as a result of offering more refined, less ‘fast fashion’ style videos. I have found that more ‘high end’ clients prefer the poetry and magic in vertical video, something that I have come to love creating as much as stills.
Eva’s course takes you through absolutely everything you need to know to create beautiful videos from scratch, to be honest I have no idea how she makes it so approachable, her manner, guidance and constant support in her availability to answer any questions personally makes this course shine amongst it competitors. It truly works magic.
I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough, It has brought me joy, knowledge, a new skill set, and, more importantly in this current climate, a whole new source of income. I am Grateful beyond words!
I feel like I’ve come such a long way as far as videos go. Eva’s video course has been hands down THE BEST course I’ve ever purchased! EVER! I literally purchased it on a whim….The best money spent. By the end of last year I’d recouped my investment 5 times over with client videos!
Not only to create another high-return offering for clients, but also to reach your audience, grow your business, and tell your visual story in its *MOST* powerful form.
But deep down, you know that the winds are shifting and video is a deeply useful skillset you need to add to your creative tool belt.
Everyday over 672 million people log into the top three video-based social media apps. Whether they're looking for recipe ideas, design inspo, or a dreamy little escape from the everyday, the numbers show they're coming back again and again.
What's the Deal with Video?

@EVAKOSMASFLORES
It's me, Eva! Author, educator, photographer, and a lady with waaaay too many houseplants. My love affair with video started with teenage me fan girl-ing over Amelie on my dell computer in my bedroom, saw me through getting my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Video Production, and is still with me as I create videos for my own brand + for clients.
My work has been featured from Saveur to Sunset Magazine to the New York Times, and I'm honored to have worked with clients like All-Clad, KitchenAid, Anthropologie, West Elm, Crate & Barrel, and so many more.
You won't be pigeon-holed into one shooting style or video strategy in this course. Instead, you have the option to learn how to create captivating + eye-catching video content on your smart phone or your camera (or both!) This gives you the freedom to experiment with both options to see what works best for your brand, and gives you the ability to offer more polished videos to your clients, or keep things casual for social!
Plus with our focus on video strategy, you'll be making sure that you get the most return out of every single video you create.

5x LUT Video Presets
If you're thinking 'LUT-what?', let me fill you in! LUTs are basically preset files for videos, and I created these 5 custom LUTs to help you quickly add a beautiful color grade to your moving picture, weave a feeling of consistency throughout your videos, and save you the time of color grading each and every shot 🙌
My Go-To Video Gear List

Video Shot List Template
No more going into video shoots with a vague idea of what you want to shoot, then ending up shooting tons of content that you don't even actually end up using in the final video. This Shot List Template can be typed directly into, so you can have a clear vision of what you're going to shoot, how many shots will be in your video, and you'll be able to calculate + make sure that they work with your video's duration time constraints.
Module One
Knowing the ins and outs of the technical settings behind your camera + video files allows you to take your vision out of your mind’s eye and put it out into the real world. Understanding how video works on a technical level works will help you shoot faster, more efficiently, and help you stay true to your vision!

The world of videography equipment is vast, but in this module you'll learn all about the most effective + approachable tools at your fingertips that will help you create beautiful videos quickly + simply. You can say goodbye to the headache of scrolling through gear options for eternity with this deep-dive of a module!

In this module, you'll learn all about ways to put the above into practice 👍
ModuleS NINE + TEN + ELEVEN

When you join, you won't be beholden to an arbitrary cut-off date. And you won't be asked to pay some additional fee to extend access. I want you to be able to reference the program as many times as you want, whenever you want. Whether that's months, seasons, or years from now, you can count on this this course to be there for you!
Getting lost in camera menus and technobabble isn't fun for anyone. Through the course you'll get a thorough understanding of all aspects of video creation, from settings to gear to the editing bay, and you can kiss that guessing game goodbye!
Playing the guessing game about what's going wrong
Along with all the technical details + stylistic techniques you'll harness to create gorgeous videos, I'll also take you deep into the world of editing with not one, but the top THREE different video editing applications, so you can learn about each of them + choose the best fit for you.
Creating + editing videos that actually look good!
Does the idea of being on the line for a client video make your palms sweat? Once you understand how the technical side of video works, you'll feel much more secure + confident in actually being able to deliver something awesome to your clients. Plus you always have this course as a reference anytime you want to double-check something + pop back in.
Not feeling confident enough to offer video to clients yet
Through the techniques, tools, and strategies you'll learn in the course, you'll be able to create beautiful videos in less time than you ever have before. And you can spend those precious extra hours sleeping in, gardening, watching netflix, crafting, or whatever tickles your fancy!
Taking an eternity to make *one* single video
Nope! This is brand new content. Whereas the bundle's video course focused on flat lay + stop motion videos, this course is all-encompassing and dives into a huge variety of different video styles, angles, storytelling techniques, gear, and durations. This course is focused on the newest capabilities in the video realm, and dives deep into every *single* aspect of video creation, from idea to storytelling to shooting to editing. And with the growing demand for vertical videos, this course covers all the transitionary equipment + tech you need to use to shoot + edit vertically. There is about 5 minutes of overlap when I'm talking about frame rates, but out of the over 12 hours of tutorials, that's not too bad ;) Plus it's always good to have a little refresher about the fundamentals!
Heck yes, it will! Everything we're going over in the course, from camera settings to editing techniques to storytelling tools, also applies to horizontal videos. The caveat here is that vertical video is *not* what most video equipment + editing software is geared towards, so in the course you'll learn all about the equipment + technical tools you can use to make gorgeous videos vertically. But if you want to do it the old school horizontal way, you can just put to use everything covered in the course, but without the vertical work-arounds 👍
There is no expiration date for your access—it's for life, my friend! When you join, you won't be beholden to a deadline. And you won't be asked to pay some additional fee to extend access. I want you to be able to reference the program as many times as you want, whenever you want. Whether that's months, seasons, or years from now, you can count on this this course to be there for you!
You will definitely need a camera or smart phone that can shoot in HD. As for the rest of the gear discussed in the course, it's optional depending on the style of video you want to create (which we'll dive deep into in the course, especially in Module 2 which is all about video equipment). I'm a firm believer that you don't need the newest + shiniest equipment to create a beautiful video—instead, you need to understand what you're doing on a technical + artistic level, and that's what the course will help you do. If you are interested in learning to edit in Adobe Rush, Adobe Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve, you will need to download one or all of those applications. Adobe Rush desktop + Adobe Premiere are paid, but DaVinci Resolve is free to download.
Yes you can! The course covers shooting with a smart phone *and* with a camera, so that you can learn to create beautiful videos with whatever equipment you have. I strongly believe that you do not need the newest costliest gear to make captivating videos, you just need creativity and some extra know-how! 🎨 + 🧠 All of the stylistic visual techniques covered in the course apply whether you're shooting with a smart phone or a DSLR camera. And I dive DEEP into the technical side + camera settings of both, so that you can fully understand the video capabilities of the tool you have, and how to adjust them to bring your creative vision to life!

I’ve known Eva and her gorgeous work for years now and was lucky enough to learn from her through course and workshop! Not only is Eva an amazing food photographer (one of the best if you ask me ;)) but she truly is a wonderfull and caring human being! Her talent, her generosity and teaching skills allow Eva to be an amazing mentor. I’ve not yet had the chance to learn video from Eva yet, but I know whatever she does is gold and I would trust any course she puts out there for us to learn!

"Taking one of Eva's courses was a major turning point in building my own successful career as an artist."
"Taking one of Eva's courses was a major turning point in building my own successful career as an artist. She explained technicalities in an approachable way and then how to apply those elements in a real life way to my work. Afterwards I was able to not only consistently produce quality images, but use that knowledge to shape my own personal style. I wasn't a beginner by any means coming into her course, but her teaching style made things 'click' in a way they never had previously. I would recommend her as an instructor to anyone looking to further their skills and confidence as a creator."
"I took Eva’s Photography + Styling + Branding Course in September 2020...That decision was a game changer for me!"
"I took Eva’s Photography + Styling + Branding Course in September 2020 because I was mesmerized by her photography and wanted to learn her craft from her. That decision was a game changer for me!
The course took me deep into the basics first, getting more advanced as I progressed. Right from understanding your camera and its settings, to learning about light and how to work with it to create the mood you want to portray, to styling with a purpose, the meaningful use of props, to advanced storytelling and finally, to editing your images to bring them to life, the course is super comprehensive and broken down into
what my PAST students have to say. . .
easily manageable modules.
You have lifetime access to the course, so I never felt rushed to complete it. Eva is by far the best teacher you can have! She is extremely kind, approachable, intuitive and knowledgeable, and selflessly imparts that knowledge to you. She patiently addressed all of our queries on the photo course's monthly zoom calls. You can see how my work has evolved, thanks to Eva! I would highly recommend her as a teacher."
"She does not keep any secrets to herself. She shares all her knowledge with you, and she will guide and advise you throughout your learning process"
"Eva's teaching system is very complete, not only for all the knowledge she shares throughout unique and amazing videos, but also for all the extra materials and resources she offers. Because she has extensive technical, creative, and business knowledge, you can ask any question you have and I assure you that Eva will answer it. She does not keep any secrets to herself. She shares all her knowledge with you, and she will guide and advise you throughout your learning process."
best value!
Ready? let's take a leap!
I had a very long and winding road to the creative life, which included working at NBCUniversal (the highlight of which was when Jason Bateman ate a cake I baked (!) ), picking up my first camera (dark room-style) 18 years ago, and shooting for clients + teaching students for over a decade.
Nope, I am not a dinosaur—but I do have a *LOT* of experience when it comes to video, and I want to shave valuable time off your learning curve. Let's give your voice the platform it deserves. This is YOUR time to shine. I can't wait to see you inside.
