About Your Teacher

Hi! My name is Jessica Goldbaum.

I’m a London-based food photographer and founder of Freshly Snapped Studio. Since I first discovered food photography back in 2016, I’ve made it my mission to continuously grow my skill and develop my craft. I’m honored to have my work recognised, being shortlisted for the prestigious ‘Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year’ award in both 2023 and 2024.

Self-teaching has been a transformative journey for me, proving just how empowering and rewarding it can be to master a new skill from the comfort of home. That’s why I created this guide, to make food photography accessible to everyone, regardless of your experience or background.

I’m so excited that you’ve decided to take the first step on your own food photography journey—you’re going to love it!

I have loved having Jess shoot my coffee shop, Grumbling Goose. She made each shoot different but still keeping the shots cohesive to match my style and look. Each time we have such fun with different styles and concepts. She goes the extra mile for sure! Extra love for making my cheesy toastie look so gooey! We will continue to use Jess in the future.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jess all throughout 2022 and early 2023. Jess and myself have now done six Product shoots together. She 100% gets me, knows exactly how I like my products styled and always has amazing ideas for me. My favourite thing that Jess creates for me are stop motion videos, we have loads of fun together creating these. Can’t wait to work with Freshly Snapped Studio throughout the year.

Study with Jess
We first met Jess when we needed some shots done for Mr Yum, our table ordering system. The food photography produced by Jess was just beautiful! We have since used Jess to shoot our location, restaurant, café & farm. Jess got the vision of what we wanted the moment she stepped into the place and from then on we have always had an amazing relationship. Thank you Jess!

Working with Jess is an absolute pleasure. Not only is she extremely professional AND produces effective and creative content, she takes complete ownership over her work. I feel at ease because I know she genuinely cares about achieving the client’s goals. I couldn’t recommend Jess more highly.
