Top 5 reasons you need a food stylist on your next food shoot.
1. Professional food stylists bring value to the shoot.
The presence of a food stylist allows the food photographer to focus on their honed skills, like lighting and composition. When they don’t have to worry about the ice melting or the lettuce wilting or the bread sliding, their team can move quickly.
That means more bang for your buck and more shots for your time.
2. Food stylists know all the tricks.
It’s true - there are food styling secrets, and professional food stylists know all of them. We can create the perfect cheese melt, keep ice cream looking great for hours, and add that perfect dollop of whipped cream or drizzle of chocolate.
We have all the tools to make the food look great for extended periods of time, making sure you get the perfect shot.
3. Food stylists know how to find rare ingredients.
Need fresh peas in the pod in the middle of January? Or pomegranates in the heat of the summer? Professional Food Stylists can find them… or any other ingredient you can dream of.
We know all the places to look and order from, ensuring you can make the right dish shine no matter the season.
4. Food stylists see all the details.
We notice things that most don’t because we’re sticklers for the details. From a single crumb in frame, to the perfect drop of moisture, to raspberries needing their hairs plucked, we see it all.
The goal of a professional food stylist is to make your food look its best on the set from the first shot to the last.
5. Food stylists know how to think on their feet.
Whether the toast on the bread isn’t quite even or chocolate chips are a little too big for the cookie, professional food stylists have encountered it all. We think on our feet to make quick and efficient fixes to get you the perfect shot without sacrificing your perfect shot or losing time on the set.
