You can totally be there or probably already are.Food Photography for packaging and advertising has a thrill of its own but it can most definitely be overwhelming esp. at the start. Our guest, Kulsum Kunwa, a food photographer based in Kuwait is a master at both packaging and advertising photography. With hard work & grit, she broke into a competitive market and completely changed the way clients worked with food photographers.  Kulsum works with clients like Taco Bell, Costa Coffee, Applebees, Deliveroo etc. and she talks about skillset, mindset, finding clients, pricing, licensing and even, editing and printing. She walks us through the entire process of such projects, from start to finish,  so that we too, can work on such amazing projects with confidence.This pow-packed episode will leave you pumped!No project is out of your reach. No client is out of your reach. The next cookie box could be your photo.  The next billboard could be your photo.Sometimes we need a certain skill set, sometimes we need a good network and sometimes all we need is the confidence to be able to work on projects that seem too good to be true.
