I’m no food stylist but when you take photos for a blog, you can’t help but look at your food differently. Composition, light, props, colour, texture, shape and white space are some of things I consider when shooting my food. I cringe at the photos I took when this blog started in 2010. But they’ll stay up because they’re a reminder of how far I’ve come.
Looking at beautifully styled food is inspirational rather than depressing and my favourite food stylist in the world is Dietlind Wolf who is based in Hamburg, Germany. Her work is truly swoon-worthy. I adore her use of organic shapes, groupings and interesting props from all sorts of places for editorial spreads.
Please check out more of her gorgeous displays on her blog dietlindwolf.blogspot.com.

Hmmm, I see what you mean! It appears I have a little way to go….
That is a profession I could certainly embrace; if I were 20 or even 30 I would change careers in a second! Fortunately I sometimes get to style at work. Sadly both my photo skills or styling skills on the blog are lacking. We’re usually too hungry and want to eat right away!
lol. I know what you mean by being too hungry to eat. I often forget to take photos of food until it’s already been eaten.
It happens to us all the time when we go out to eat and I want to do a review. Oh well.
Wow. Those are beautiful shots. Really beautiful.
That is so beautiful. I am so jealous of the creativity that must be in their mind. 🙂
