PHOTOGRAPHY + STYLING + BRANDING
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, but she truly is a wonderful and caring teacher. Her talent, her generosity and teaching skills allow Eva to be an amazing mentor and she has helped me make leaps and bounds in my images.
Eva's teaching system is very complete, not only for all the knowledge she shares through her in-depth and amazing videos, but also for all the extra materials and resources she offers. One of the best additions she provides is the live zoom calls to ask questions. 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. If you apply everything you learn in the course, you will definitely improve and see incredible results in your work.
Learning with Eva has been the best decision I've made! She's a wonderful teacher and human being.
This course has been one of the best investments for me. It was a lot for me to invest but the presentation was so convincing that I took the leap and I couldn’t be happier! To learn things like textural contrast, showing multiple food stories with a simple fruit like orange, using fabric in the right way, and all of it using natural lighting is just fantastic. The entire program has been a great source of learning. I still go back to the course when I feel stuck. Above it all, I’ve been able to connect with Eva and it’s just wonderful how she readily helps whenever I need it.

Cinemagraphs *consistently* give me the best engagement on social media, and I can’t recommend making them highly enough. The motion they capture allows you to create a sense of presence + reality within the frame. Plus, the fact that you can also edit the photo aspect of the image in Lightroom, means that you can easily create a video that is completely in line with your overall visual style. It’s an incredible method for creative storytelling, and an awesome tool to use for growing on social media.
