As an admirer of the Persuasive Food Photographs found in the Barefoot Contessa and Martha Stewart cookbooks, and even the Williams Sonoma catalogs, I found The Design Files interview with Deb Kaloper, a Food Stylist in Melbourne, a Pleasant and Informative read.
I naively did not know that “Food Stylist” was even an Occupational Option, but after consulting a few of my Cookbooks Colophon Pages, I quickly discovered the Vast, Mouth-Watering World of Food Photography. When meals are Captured with Craft, Color, Ripeness, and an Arranged Spontaneity, I’ve been tempted by foods I would normally never consider consuming.

Photographer Marcus Nilson is, among others, a contributor to Martha Stewart’s creations. His portfolio, by far, creates the most Delicious Reality—without resorting to the Moody, Dark, Rustic Tones that many Food Photographers Adopt. Whereas Nilson’s frame often includes the larger world surrounding food—the table—photographer Quentin Bacon (who captures the accompanying images for the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks) zooms in, capturing Every Detail Of the Plate.
