The Art of Food Photography

Food photography is great! I personally love food so why wouldn’t I love to see pictures of food. I enjoyed the pictures of food but I think food photography is all about the artists “eye” and how they want to portray the food. For example, some photographs of food appear appetizing and makes you want to eat it. Whereas, there are some photographs of food that does not highlight or thrive on the food. This is seen in Irving Penn’s Food Portraits. In my opinion, the photographs of food do not look appetizing or pleasing to the eye; it looks raw.
