    immersive, 7-week course. Designed for photographers who already
    understand the basics, but want to elevate their craft. This program blends
    technical mastery with creative direction.

    From mastering light for complex surfaces, to styling, storytelling, and post-production workflows, you’ll gain the tools to create polished, client-ready images.

    Each week combines focused lectures with practical exercises,
    ensuring you leave with not just knowledge—but a portfolio of work that
    demonstrates your growth. By the end, you’ll walk away with a professional mini-portfolio, advanced technical skills, and the confidence to take on e-commerce, advertising, or editorial product photography projects.

  • 2nd Edition : Spring Burst

    Sunday, March 22nd - Chicago Photography Classes

    Shoot & Taste is a playful food photography workshop series led by food and product photographer Mo Bench.

    During Shoot & Taste, participants learn how to capture beautiful food images in a friendly, hands-on environment — and enjoy a tasting at the end. Each edition celebrates a different theme through one special dish.

    In this Spring Burst edition, we celebrate the colors and freshness of the season with two vibrant dishes. Participants will assemble the final touches themselves — arranging fruits, adding garnishes, and styling the plate before photographing it.

    Through simple guidance on light, color, and composition, you’ll learn how to transform fresh seasonal ingredients into bright, inviting images.

    You’ll shoot, you’ll taste, and you’ll leave inspired — with a new appreciation for how fun and accessible food photography can be.

    This workshop is perfect for food lovers, and anyone curious about food photography but unsure where to start.

    Basic knowledge of camera operation is recommended.
