Food Styling & Home Economy

Food styling is an extension of your personality, I think!

So with this in mind, you will find my work to be natural and genuine. I don’t like using too many tricks of the trade as I really don’t like messing around with the food. I also have it in mind that those days are coming to an end which is great!

There are moments when you need to spray with a little water or brush with some oil but no gravy browning or half cooked foods are coming from my kitchen!

Many of the examples of food photography now though, show true representations of how the dish will look when you have cooked it, which is how things should be. I find it most irksome when I see a photograph of a dish and the food has blatantly not been cooked according to the recipe but has been changed to create a better picture.

It is incredible what you can glean from a photograph. Not just the look of the food but the love and passion of the photographer and the cook.
