about me
Hi! I'm your
teacher, Marie.
Why learn
from me?
It all started with me sharing iPhone pics of my Sydney food adventures - bowls of steaming ramen and neighbourhood latte art. The food was great and photos were...crappy, but it ignited an incredible passion for all things food and content creation!
I was rewarded with delicious meals and the opportunity to practice my skills. Living the dream, right? But then something hit me: I loved photography WAY more than my office job, and I discovered people were actually making a living from this gig?!?! Don't get me wrong, free ice cream is amazing, but (sadly) it doesn't pay the bills.
Now, let's dive into the numbers...
In my old office job, I used to make around $4,600 (AUD) per month.
In my first month in business, I earned $1,250.
By the second month, I hit $2,450.
By month six, I matched my previous monthly salary.
And by month nine, I doubled it!
Fast forward to today, and I'm earning more in a single day than I used to make in an entire month. I'm the proud owner of a premium food photography agency, working with dream clients every single day. And here's the kicker: I'm working less hours than ever before!
Trust me when I say that there's serious money to be made in food photography and content creation, and I'm here to share it all with you!
