Food Styling A chef will style food very differently than a professional food stylist. Determine in advance how commercial clients plan to use their images. Select “hero” elements Sort berries, beans, seeds, mushrooms, whatever Group the best for heroes Second best for background Use rejects for dummy food The rest is unusable Get the best produce Get a lot of it Keep it fresh Refrigeration Cooler & Ice Cold Water Minimize handling Have fun
Summary Food photography is a fun, creative challenge Competition helps you improve your photography. Keep your work space comfortable for everyone. Consider color relationships in your set. It’s all about shadows and light. Packaging presents more challenges. Consider different angles for your photos. Get as much as you can in camera with on set techniques. Food has to look the part, even if it’s not to be eaten. Food stylists help photographers get the look clients want.
