Bravura: Sourdough Bread

One of Bryan’s best-selling Strada Challenge demos is back—by popular demand! In this richly detailed lesson, you’ll take on a deceptively complex subject: a humble loaf of sourdough.


From the tiniest textural shifts to the warm bounce of light across the crust, Bryan walks you through how to capture it all—without falling into the “moldy bread” trap. This is a rewarding study in lighting, texture, and control.

🍞 Learn how to simplify complex forms
💡 Practice accurate lighting and texture techniques
📸 Bonus: Bryan wraps up with a short segment on photographing and framing your work for better online presentation
