FOOD STYLING FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS - A GUIDE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN APPETIZING ART

There are two basic stories: The photographer either has a client that did not provide funds to hire a food stylist, or they were requested or assigned to do a test shot of a specific food product to show their abilities to make the product look good. To say the least, this is not a comfortable position for the photographer. This book is aimed at the entry to mid level commercial photographer that is hungry for work and willing to accept jobs outside of their comfort zone to increase their portfolio and keep a pay check coming in. They are often working on relatively small jobs (local newspaper, low budget catalog, local restaurant) that would not have the budget for a food stylist. Information on food styling is hard to come by as food stylists are traditionally quite secretive with their tips.
