Hi Amanda , I’m currently using my iPhone to take photos and I’m thinking of upgrading to a camera. What model would you recommend for a beginner? Thank you :)
Thank you so much!! This was so motivating. I think that you really give inspiring vibes that dreams are possible no matter the struggle journey. Thank you!
Totally depends on your budget 😊 I’m a canon lover and have heard the rebel series is a great starter camera. It’s also about what lens you buy. Make sure to buy your camera body and lens separately as opposed to buying the kit lens 😊
I am a portrait photographer wanting to get into product. Do you recommend I create a new website and all new social media pages for product? Thank you!
I don’t think you need a new website if you’re wanting to do both 😊 you can easily showcase both your portrait and product photography services on your website and Instagram.
Thanks for the wonderful tips; I'm specializing in tabletop product/still-life photography. I find and take as many courses as I can and I practice a lot and I've starting working on my website! So thank you again!
Hey Hannah! The price is $749 AUD :) I've just fixed that up on the sales and checkout page to make it more clear. Let me know if you have any questions about the course at all!
Thanks so much for all the lesson. You're one of the person who got me to jump start in photography. Wish you keep inspiring us, cheers 🔥 Sorry for my bad english...
If you look around your house you can find all kinds of products that you can use to make a decent beginner portfolio with, and don't be afraid to call on friends and family to have them model the product. You can do this to level up your skills along with looking at actual product photography in ads and try and mimic the ads with what you have available to you at home. The more you shoot and challenge yourself, the better you will become in a short amount of time. But what you should NEVER do as a photographer in general, let alone as a product photographer looking to work with companies to shoot their product photography, is offering to do even one gig for free. As the Joker stated in the movie The Dark Knight Rises, "If you're good at something, never do it for free".
All great advice on finding products to work with! I think when you're starting though and building your portfolio, collaborating with brands at no charge can be highly strategic as they may turn into paying clients. That's exactly how I got my first paying clients. As it also teaches you how to work with clients as well.

Question when switching or adding product photography did you make a new page or add it to your current page
I’ve always had the one page 😊 somehow I made it work
That was so helpful. Thank you so much!
I’m just wondering can we practice with existing products and post on social media or do we need their permission?
Thank you so much! This has been helpful from a re-assurance point of view.
Thanks for this great tips 😊 btw what camera do you suggest for beginners product photography?
Totally depends on your budget 😊 I’m a canon lover and have heard the rebel series is a great starter camera. It’s also about what lens you buy. Make sure to buy your camera body and lens separately as opposed to buying the kit lens 😊
Are you going to bring back the motion social media bundle i missed the sale
Moodelier may bring it back at some point but I’m not sure to be honest. Moodelier manage the course so it’s a question for them 😊
