Food Styling For Photographers-Bellingham and Bybee

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

My daughter sent me a link to the book "Food Styling The Art of Preparing Food" by Delores Custer. I read much about this book but still could not bring myself around to spending $47. If you're a photographer, you'll understand why.

I read the reviews here on this book, "Food Styling For Photographers" and saw a few pictures posted and decided this was probably more of what I was looking for. Indeed it was. I am not a stylist but I enjoy cooking and photography so I thought this would be a great edition to my collection of photography books.

This is certainly not for beginner photographers nor beginner food stylists. It is assumed you know how to cook and you know photography. There are no specifics listed just what the photographer used to take the shot and photographs of the actual set and one can always go back to the main photo of the chapter to see the results.

The food stylist gives every detail to styling the food. Bellingham repeatedly reminds the reader to mark food as not eatable. In fact, poisonous in some cases. The things used to style food...who'd a thunk?

This is a most informative, fascinating book and I'm glad I got it. I'm satisfied if I don't buy Delores Custer's book but who knows, I may drop a hint to hubby for an upcoming birthday.

All and all for my own specific styling and photography needs this book gives me ideas and tips for achieving my goals. I'm too old for the stress and physically and mentally demanding work of food styling and food photography. These careers have my utmost admiration and respect.

Very technical food styling

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book. The author knows her stuff and could not have been any more detail in the information presented. You will learn a lot of tricks of how to make the food look fantastic, the whole process of styling from beginning to end, and the tools of the trade. Get it if you really want to know all the ins and outs of food styling. I can't stress enough that while photography is mentioned this is not really a photography book.

That said this book is about commercial food styling and it is really geared for people that are beginning careers in food styling or seasoned professional photographers that work with commercial clients on site where there is a larger budget and the customer is preparing several samples of the same dish to work with. I wish the author/publisher would have mentioned this in a bit more detail on the cover or in the summary info which is the reason I gave it 4 stars.

If you just want to shoot for fun or you are a blogger looking to improve your shots this book may be overkill. I recommend instead you look into books that focus more on natural food styling such as Plate to Pixel from Helene Dujardin or Food Photography from Nicole Young.

I learned a lot from this book

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have spent a lot of time reading and putting some of the ideas included in this book into practice. The end photographs in the book are beautiful. The descriptions of how the photographs are put together are very good. My food photography is improving because of what I have learned.

I do have a slight problem. Most food photographs are beautiful still life pictures. They are intended to create a desire to eat the food pictured. However, the photographs in the book are of foods made inedible for the sake of beauty. I am a bit rebellious at creating inedible works of food art. I need the photographs. I wish to have a photograph of something that not only looks deliciously edible, but actually is.

Because of this philosophical position, I am trying to create point of view food photographs. That is, making it easier for the viewer to actually believe that they can consume the food. It is an active point of view, with the viewer personally involved, not just admiring a beautiful work of art from a distance. For example, a mouthful of that beautiful piece of cake safely on a fork being transported between the viewer and his or her mouth.

Anyone know of instruction along those lines?

If you are interested in food photography

Finally, there is a Food Styling book for Photographers. I took 2 food styling classes in LA before - the purpose was to understand how food was prepared for the camera and also to see how food photographers setup their lights. I love food photography and read many popular food blogs with their work. So when I know this Food Styling for Photographers came out, I can't wait to order a copy and I was very happy after flipping through the book.

This book gives you many tricks of the trade and notes from photographers with lots of setup photos, both food setup and camera/lighting setup. The printing quality and the page layout are very good - the font size is easy to read, the color pictures are clear, clean and colorful. They gives you details on how to buy the food, how to prepare the food, how to assemble the food, how to plate the food, how to decorate the food, etc. They gives you before, during and final photos.

I also own Digital Food Photography by Lou Manna and Working with Plate by Christopher Styler and David Lazarus. In my opinion, if you are interested in food photography, buy Food Styling for Photographyers and Digital Food Photography and you are good to go. Highly recommend these two books.

Depends what you want out of the book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because I have a strong interest in food photography. The book has some lovely photos and clear instructions, it's also nice to hear from the photographers who took the photos and to see the lighting setup for each photo. However I found it very disappointing to read that some of the foods used are not real. For example the ice cubes are plastic and the ice cream is not real ice cream. I want to photograph real honest food and make it look the best I can, not make use of plastic and artificial props - it all feels very deceitful. I somehow expected to see tips and tricks about photographing real edible food and when I discovered this was not the case I lost all interest in the book. I know this is probably how professionals create the photos but this method isn't for me. I have since sold the book and it's not a book I would consider purchasing again.

This is a really superb book.

Apart from going through the tricks of the trade of food styling there are also useful comments from the photographers' who photographed the final shot.

This book is only intended to be an introduction to the subject of food styling; the author is not intending to put herself out of a job. Nevertheless she gives more than enough to teach a jobbing photographer how to do great food pictures for a variety of clients and understand the needs of a professional food stylist should he/she be lucky enough to obtain a large corporate commission.

Excellent photographs supporting the text

A fantastic book well worth the money.

Wer etwas über Foodstyling wissen will muss dieses Buch haben.

Reviewed in Germany on March 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

Die Autorinnen schreiben über das Thema Foodstyling, nicht Foodfotografie(!).

Die Schilderungen sind mit einer Liebe zum Thema und einer Genauigkeit geschrieben, die nur durch jahrelange Erfahrung möglich wurde. Das geht sogar so weit, dass haarklein geschildert wird, wie Einkäufe zu verpacken und zu transportieren sind und wann sie gekauft werden müssen.

Nicht nur, dass jeder einzelne Schritt bis ins kleinste Detail beschrieben ist, es wird auch akribisch aufgelistet mit welchem Werkzeug was gemacht wurde und wo man dieses Werkzeug kaufen kann.

Wer nicht vor der englischen Sprache zurückschreckt und neu in diesem Thema ist, kann aus diesem - wirklich gelungenen - Fachbuch sehr viel lernen.

Ich jedenfalls bin begeistert!!!
