I do believe food should be considered art. In my perspective art is about creating and constructing something. When someone cooks a meal or bakes a cake they are using their creativity to construct something. Many people take photographs of the things they eat or  cook. for example on the app Instagram, when people go out to eat they take a quick photograph of their meal and post it on Instagram. They also post pictures of their food seasoned, while its cooking, and when its done.
NPR’s “Appetizing Art of Food Photography”, displays food in a more yummy way. Obviously it was constructed to make it look more appealing to the person. Also the different angles the photographs were taken from to show them more clearly and get every detail. While Robert Mann Gallery’s exhibit “Food For Thought”, displays food in a more artistic way. He experiments with color, shade, shadows, shapes, and scene to get his love for food across. In A few examples of Irving Penn’s Food Portraits, he displays his photographs also in an artistic way but he goes as far as to stage his photographs, meaning he sets them up in a captivating way. Clearly everyone has their own way of displaying the art of food in photography.
