The way food is presented in photography goes a huge way to tempting people to try new recipes, foods or eateries. Rachel Green makes food look as good as it tastes, regularly working with people like Lincolnshire photographer Mike Powell on the art of preparing food for the camera.
Rachel has also worked with photographers on Hello magazine and other popular publications. Plus she has assisted with the food styling for her cookery books – Sausages: Making the most of the Great British Sausage and Rachel Green’s Chatsworth Cookery Book.
With Rachel food styling is always about the food. Yes, the props and lighting are important but the dish itself should always take centre stage. The trick is to assemble exactly the right combination of colours, textures and freshness in a way that makes the flavours and aromas seem so enticing that readers want to eat the page itself.
