Food seems to be the most misunderstood subject I have encountered in my professional career. I know it can be hard to imagine, but there is no way to simply show up and snap an image of food and expect it to be passible–let alone a masterpiece. So many elements must come together in order to have a successful photo shoot. A single recipe can take an entire day to have done right.
Working with a competent chef, art director and food stylist really helps pull these various elements together. Time is a factor, so working in sync with each member of a team is crucial. In no other aspect of photography will you find such a demanding blend of art and science, mimicking the world of culinary arts.
