In a chat with PricePally, OmoyeCooks spoke about her journey into food content creation, including photography and videography. She also shared practical tips to start a career as a food content creator.  Read our chat with her below. 

My love for cooking inspired me to start OmoyeCooks. I have always loved cooking and sharing recipes that show that cooking is fun. 

I started by taking pictures of steps and processes to make a recipe on Instagram. I would film on the moon when the sun was at its brightest. This happened during the lockdown in 2020. The photography started before I went into videography. As my audience grew, I started to invest in filming gadgets and props to make my videos sharper and brighter.

I have a timetable that I work with. It helps with scheduling each activity for both businesses so I don’t get overwhelmed. Over time, I got some staff that supported me in certain areas while I focused on my core tasks. 

I’ll say start with what you have and grow from there. Invest in good lighting. Read, read, and read! Expand your knowledge and never stop learning. 

It’s capital and time-intensive. It’s a deliberate decision to keep going every day. 

Be your authentic self and your community will find you. 

The best part will be the connections I’ve made with people I’ve never met who completely love and appreciate what you do. The challenging part is capital.

Create content that resonates with your audience. Be your authentic self and your audience will find you. 

You need a good phone, a tripod stand to hold the phone while filming and invest in very good lighting.
