Food photography

Food photography is not simply photographing ingredients thrown together; it is combining lighting, composition, and styling to turn a dish into a visual story. It is travel, it is culture, it is a way of looking at the world differently. Food photography is about what we eat and how we eat it. It is about transforming food into images that speak of presence, memory, light, relationships and emotion.

Lighting, composition, and styling

Food photography is visual storytelling; the colours, the textures, the background; they should tell a story about the dish. By using lighting, composition, and styling, food photography should have the viewer grabbing their coat and keys and making their way to the restaurant as quickly as possible.
