Food Photography is a brand of art which marries the aesthetic quality of food with taste. The relationship between food and presentation is an important one with the power to make or break the dining experience. Artists who are inspired by this relationship capture dinner delicacies in a way that excites viewer's senses from vision to taste and even smell.
Whether the shoots feature people or just food, these edible pictorials are hunger-inducing artworks lensed by talented photographers whose vision extends beyond taste to the inherently artistic nature of food.
Implications - Presentation and aesthetic is equally as important as taste when it comes to attracting consumers to certain restaurants and foods. Consumers see cooking as an artform and chefs with the vision required to create visually enticing dishes as well as tasty ones are most celebrated by foodies.
