Restaurants may assume that having a good chef to ensure food quality will lead customers to share photos of their dishes on social media. These photos will, in turn, be good for business. In truth, chefs and food stylists have very different goals.
Chefs and food stylists are both aware of food presentation. However, chefs focus on the taste of the food that they prepare. When food stylists are working, they don’t have to think about how the food tastes. Their main concern is whether or not it looks good.
The art of food styling is not limited to traditional photography. Some stylists work with photographers to take amazing pictures of food for cookbooks, restaurant menus, and even food packages. Others focus on making meals that look real enough to eat for movies and TV shows, even with all the filming going on. There are even food stylists who work for social media. They create trendy and eye-catching dishes that are perfect for grabbing attention online. If you happen to need photos or videos of your food, consider hiring a food stylist to bring them to the next level.
