Food Photography
One form of still life photography would be the focus on different types of food. Commonly used for advertising and making food look appetizing,food photography is used to show in packaging, cook books, menus and magazines how good a food product is.
Usually, professional food photography will involve the help and efforts of an art director, a
photographer and a food stylist.

The job of a food stylist is to prepare and lay out the food in an attractive way for the final image, and they take extra, careful time as opposed to someone at home who would not take as much care or time to prepare the food to look quite as good as how a photographer captures it in images.
Over the years, food photography has developed from the original idea of shooting images from a birds-eye point of view like how someone consuming the food would see it, to more creative ideas like having the food in mid air, to being photographed from different and unusual angles.Usually, professional food photography will involve the help and efforts of an art director, a
photographer and a food stylist.

Creativity with food
I think food photography is a great way to persuade people to buy the products and to tempt them into trying something from a possible menu or shopping list. It always looks appetising in the photography and always is incredible to look at, especially when they stylist have become creative with their layout of the food.
