I was excited to join this class because I love art, I love food, and I hope that one my career in my lifetime is to be a food photographer. In cookbooks and in everyday commercials we see the art of food photography. Photography in today’s society can potentially determine the success and serve as advertisement for a business. In this instagram era the camera is just important to the experience as a knife and fork. Anyone can be a food photographer with a smartphone and a tap of a finger.

It is the super bowl weekend. We will see lots of food commercials. When we see a pizza commercials and the cheese so deliciously melted and the Pepsi next to keep has a little bit of water dipping from it making you crave this meal. Photos of appealing food are captivating. I always take photos when I am at a restaurant and post them to snapchat or instagram so other can see it. I do this so others can try the great food I am eating and that is advertisement for the restaurant.
