This job... it isn't as easy as placing delicious-looking food on a plate or pouring a drink into a glass. Food styling is an art and science in problem solving with skill and grace. It requires patience and practice because as a food stylist, you’re in a race with time. Ice cream starts to melt the second it leaves the freezer; meat starts to dry out just minutes after it’s cut. Food is in a desperate hurry to die. It’s your job to stop time long enough to capture its peak beauty; or manipulate/ recreate it’s forms well enough to fool the keenest skeptic. When you hire a food stylist you hire a magician, a scientist a chef and a sculptor. You get all these wonderful things out of this quirky little profession.
