you spend the entire day shooting, and the images look nothing like they do in your head. You maybe get one or two barely acceptable from hundreds of photos you take.
You struggle to find fresh ideas and feel like your images are just a copy of everyone else’s. And you have no idea how to hone in on your unique style that would make your photos quickly recognizable.
But it doesn’t have to be this way…
I am here to help you say goodbye to all these struggles in only a few short weeks

“I could tell that my works have improved a lot in terms of lighting, composition and post prosessing. After the course I am motivated to work more. It gave me the extra push to go beyond my comfort zone and explore new techniques, angles and presentation.”
With over 40 video tutorials, demonstrations, styling sessions, worksheets, and cheatsheets in 6 modules, you’ll get a complete insight into my food photography process in an easy-to-follow structured way that will make your learning experience feel like a breeze.

Through 3 live bi-weekly Q&A sessions, you’ll be able to get all your burning questions answered and talk to me and other students live in a Zoom call. You’ll get direct access to someone who has been in the business for years, has worked with international clients, and has grown over a 100k following online.
We’ll also discuss any questions that might turn up during the lessons or practice.

After joining this amazing community of fellow passionate creatives, you’ll be able to uplevel your skillset and become more confident when approaching creative photography work.
This is me! A shy girl from a small but highly picturesque country called Slovenia and an official education in ecology. Nature is my biggest inspiration, and it is pure joy to take all its beauty into my creative work.
In my mid-twenties, I felt utterly lost and didn’t know what my passion was. So, after leaving a dead-end job and feeling like the biggest loser, I took the time and figure out what I wanted in life. This is how my blog Use Your Noodles was born – from sheer love of food and, well… boredom. Little did I know that it was precisely how I’d find my passion.
My love for food, cooking, and photography got me to work for international clients daily and be featured in worldwide magazines. So whenever I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me constantly talking about photography (and you’ll have a hard time stopping me!).
Knowledge is there to be shared, and everyone deserves a chance to be a part of a supportive educational community! This is what I firmly live by.
I’m happy to have you with me so we uplevel your photography together.
Commitment to student success is a core value at Use Your Noodles, and this is why I’m fully committed to giving you the best information and all the support you need to propel your creative journey.
I’m convinced that an approachable teacher is what students need when dealing with obstacles in their learning. This is why we don’t only have coffee Zoom chats, but I am also personally involved in our private Facebook group.
“I would like to thanks Anja Burgar because after taking her course I am more confident in presenting my work. I could tell that my works have improved a lot in terms of lighting, composition and post prosessing. After the course I am motivated to work more. It gave me the extra push to go beyond my comfort zone and explore new techniques, angles and presentation. As a teacher Anja is very nice, helping and patient. She happily helps even after the course has ended. I wish her all the success in life and in her professional career.”
“Anja’s course really helped me with understanding all aspects of food photography better which gave me huge empowerment. Since I took her course I went full time with food photography and signed a contract with a large international retailer and worked with my favourite brand (also international) of vegan products. I also worked with nation-wide brands and many small and local brands. It’s all been huge for me, especially because it all happened in one year. I will be forever grateful to Anja for putting together Food to Frame and giving me the confidence to do all that I have done and all that I have yet to do.”
“After the course, I started feeling more confident to approach new brands but also to decline work with brands that weren’t worth it. What I’m most proud of is the chance to now be able to work with big brands in my country, creating not only paid partnerships but also commercial work for their website and advertising. Since I’m now much more confident in my work and my clients see the level of my photography, they also recommend me to other brands which is a huge achievement for me.”

“The way that Anja is explaining every module it makes very easy to understand and follow through.
After a few modules, I already saw a big improvement in my photos and the way that I think about the photos. It’s very informative and the live Q&As are a great way to learn more and connect with each other.”
Helga
“I can’t imagine taking a better food photography course.
Food to Frame includes everything a beginner (and intermediate) food photographer needs to improve. I loved the course and can honestly say this is the one course I’ll be going back to again and again.”
Vita
“If you want to elevate your photography skills, Food to frame is definitely the course that is worth investing in.
I loved every second of this course. Full of tips and tools for immediate use and everything comes to a place with all the behind-the-scenes videos. Thank you Anja for this amazing food photography journey and for being so supportive during and also after the course finished.”
Victoria
I totally get it; having a family myself, running two businesses. It gets challenging and time is super important to you.
This is why I designed the exercises that are simple to understand and easy to follow and will get you to your creative goals quickly. I value your time, and I know sometimes things happen. This is why you get lifetime access to the course and can go at your own pace.
And whenever you’re in a situation where you need help and don’t have time to look it up or figure it out on your own, you have the supportive community to help you with any of your problems.
If you are following the course as it runs live, I suggest taking 2-4 hours to go through the lessons and do the exercises if your time permits. The scope of the modules differs a bit, so some weeks you may need to take more and others less.
Otherwise, you are free to take as much time a week as possible since you have lifetime access.
FAQ
When does the course start?
The first module opens on Moday, October 3rd. Each Monday for the next 6 weeks, you’ll get access to a new module.
Do I need to follow the course in a specific timeline?
You will receive one module each week for six weeks. The course is completely self-paced and so are the exercises, with a live Q&A session every other week. After the initial 6 weeks, you’ll have all 6 modules and all the bonuses to go back to whenever you need to.
Do I have lifetime access to the course materials?
Yes, the course is there for you whenever you need it. If we stop selling the course you will receive all the materials for download, so you can keep access to them.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes, we have a 2-month payment plan. Simply scroll down a little bit more and you’ll find all your payment options!
Do I need a DSLR to follow the course?
No, you can use any camera or a phone. The course is structured so that you can follow it even with your phone. However, a DSLR will give you the most control over the final photo. That being said, we talk about what to look for when buying a camera, so if you’re in the process of upgrading, we suggest you wait until module 1, before doing that.
I’m super busy! Will this save me time?
I know how you feel. Time is so valuable. Enrolling into Food To Frame Course will save you so many hours of scrolling through YouTube and reading articles. The course is structured so you progress in a specific way. However, you do need to put some work in, to see results and this is why there are many easy-to-follow exercises to back all the knowledge from the lessons.
Is this course suitable for beginners?
Yes, for sure. This course was made with students with beginner and intermediate knowledge of light, composition, styling and editing. It is built to give you confidence to get to the next level and get your first clients or better-paying ones.
Is the course suited for a professional?
The course is built with beginners and intermediates in mind, however, if you’d like to refresh on the basics you are more than welcome.
I’m not sure if thes course is fit for me?
No worries. I’m available at [email protected] for any questions or concerns you might have. Shoot me an email and we’ll talk!
Is there a money back guarantee?
Of course! There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee. If after 30 days from receiving the first lessons, implementing the lessons and completing the exercises and assignments you see no progress let me know and I’ll give you a refund [More info here].
I know it might be daunting to take a leap and trust your growing passion and drive into someone else hands. But if there’s one thing I’d change in my food photography journey is taking on a trusted mentor with lots of experience and drive to help me succeed quicker instead of self-discovering every single thing – piece by piece. I’m convinced this would make my journey a heck of a lot faster.
Hence, my fullhearted support from and dedication to this program.
This is YOUR time to grow and your opportunity to become the confident, successful creative you DESERVE to be!
