The Rise of Popular Food Photography: Graham Precey Reflects

 

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/17/2015 -- Food photography could appear to be growing as a skilled art in itself, especially in light of recent publicity around the subject of food photography. Not only has this included the high profile of the 2015 Food Photographer of the Year competition, which was hosted in May, but also the growth of artwork involving food products. A key example is the work from Dutch artists and filmmakers Lernert& Sander, who created a series of photographs of raw food cut into 98 exact squares. You may well have seen the pictures on websites like Buzzfeed, and the images themselves were commissioned by De Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper, which was hosting a food photography supplement.

Evidently, food photography is a fashionable field, and accelerating in popularity. After all, to capture the sensory potentials of food within a still takes substantial practice and can look stunning. In turn, this can be seen as contributing to effective food photography used in advertising campaigns for business – both catering and non-catering – sharing on social media, and even making great gifts.
