INSPIRATION

I've also curated the below resources for some food photography inspiration:

+ In Focus: Still Life at the Getty Center

+ Check out Sharon Core’s Work. She studied the still lifes of earlier artists like Raphaelle Peale and Wayne Thiebaud and replicated their compositions. To achieve just the right look she sometimes grew her own fruits and vegetables or baked her own pastries. Note: Her compositions look like paintings but they’re photographs.

+ Eat This Food

+ What Katie Ate

+ Cannelle et Vanille

+ Optional: Zucker Zimt & Liebe (note: Text mostly in German)
