Learn the secrets to creating scroll-stopping beverage & product photography without needing an expensive camera or a ton of equipment.
Cocktail Camera 101 teaches aspiring photographers like YOU how to create high-quality and dynamic imagery using ANY camera by mastering the fundamentals of photography.
I’M READY TO MASTER THE BASICSTell me if this sounds familiar…
Do you dream of the day when you can capture images of cocktails and other beverages that look as good as they taste, using ANY camera (yes, even your phone)?
Do you wish to develop your photography skills and confidence to pursue photography, either as a side-hustle or a potential career path?
Extra cash in this economy? Yes, please.
PICTURE THIS:
You’re at an amazing bar, and have just been served the most incredible cocktail.
You want to capture it and share it on social media but no matter how hard you try, all of the images look elementary.
You have this vision for the type of imagery you want to create in your mind, but you just can’t quite bring it to life.
If only you had the photographic abilities to exceed your own expectations, allowing yourself to offer this service to local bars and restaurants, or being able to participate in liquor brand partnerships via social media.
I know what you’re thinking,
“But Jordan, I only have an iPhone, and I’ll unlikely ever be able to afford an actual camera. So I won’t ever be able to capture really high-quality and dynamic cocktail imagery.”
I want you to change that mindset and realize the power of the camera attached to your phone.
Most phone users just don’t know what setting to use or HOW to use their phone to capture the most stunning images.
Even with a smartphone you CAN create amazing work.
Camera and photo equipment of any kind tends to be expensive, and it’s hard to justify the expense for something that may only be a hobby, or even a side-hustle.
Skilled photographers can create beautiful imagery regardless of what device they use, based on having a thorough understanding of various photography concepts (lighting, composition, etc.)
Most new aspiring photographers think just buying a nice camera is a short-cut to becoming a skilled photographer.
Instead, YOU can focus on using the device you already have (your handy dandy smartphone) and learn to create amazing imagery with basic tools.

This course is perfect for beginners! Take a peek at what one of my student’s had to say about the course:
“This course is everything that I was hoping it would be. I’ve never used a camera before & this course really made it easy to get started. The amount of information was not overwhelming & Jordan even goes through a simple camera setup that he purchased on eBay for beginners to get started. I’m still using that setup & I absolutely love it. This course is perfect for beginners & even if you’re a pro, it never hurts to refresh.”

I was just like YOU. I constantly felt frustrated. I saw what other photographers were producing– I could envision the level of work that I aspired to, but it was so aggravating that I couldn’t make my images look the way I wanted them to look.
While becoming a professional photographer sounded so cool and exciting, I couldn’t even let myself dream because I felt so stuck and helpless.
I created Cocktail Camera 101 because I wanted to teach people how to create high-quality and dynamic imagery using whatever camera they have available to them. Because if you can master the fundamentals of photography, it really doesn’t matter what sort of device you are using– a skilled photographer and make-do with anything that takes pictures.
I know you are feeling that same sense of frustration, and angst about not being able to progress in your skill.
Not being able to produce the type of imagery that you envision.
You’ve seen from your peers, or from people you follow online, what your imagery could be– you just don’t know quite how to get there.
It’s not your fault that you’re unsure of how to get there. This is your opportunity to uplevel your skill set with Cocktail Camera 101!
