📖 The Hustle
Create beautiful flat-lay and lifestyle photography and video for food and beverage brands: coffee, tea, protein bars, sparkling water, and snack brands. Focus on aesthetic tabletop scenes that brands can use on their social media and website. CPG brands have ongoing content needs. Build a portfolio with products you already consume.
🚀 First Step
Style one food or drink product on a clean surface with good props and natural light, photograph five angles, edit a carousel post, and add to your portfolio.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Develop a signature editing style with consistent color grading
- Create both photo and video content since brands need both formats
- Pitch seasonal content ideas like holiday recipes featuring the brand's product
