Food photography

Food photography is a still life specialization of commercial photography. The main applications of food photography are in advertising, cook books, magazine editorials and packaging.

The almost edible look prevalent in the best food photography is usually the result of a collaboration between the food photographer, a food stylist, and prop stylist who each play an important role in building a strong image.
