Mom, I Am A Pornographer.

Cross Posted at The Urban Eater

I recently got these photos from Ryan Joseph, an amazing Bridal and Portrait photographer, who was doing some Ad work for his friend's wholesale seafood company. He hired my company to do the food styling.
It was a fun, but long day.
The outcome, glorious food porn.
So, what is a food stylist, you ask?
Food stylists (sometimes called food dressers) make food look attractive in photographs and videos for advertisements and menus.
I prefer this definition:
Food stylists prepare and create the forms of glossily lush photographs of voluptuous and sinfully rich foods, or of fantasy recipes and lifestyle images that, in the words of Molly O’Neill, are “so removed from real life that they cannot be used except as vicarious experiences” similar to that of Pornography.

Oh, by the way. The picture in the Title Bar on The Urban Eater, oh yeah, I did her.
