Why Take This Class?
Food is an important aspect of our lives. It provides us with fuel for our bodies and is good for mental health. We eat at least 3 times a day and therefore should make the best of the situation and take pride in what we eat.
One way to express that is to take photos of what we eat. You should take this class if you want to take the best possible photos of your food, day in and day out.
