The key to great food photography is a food stylist. Making food look good enough to eat does not photograph well.... making food look great to the camera is pretty disgusting to eat.

There is a husband and wife team (Luca & Rory) in town, she's the food stylist and he's the photog (Brook's grad), who are very good and have worked for many top notch publications/clients but I don't know about prices. If you're stuck and want a website I'll post it.

021: maybe you need to work a little harder if you can't keep up with the brooks crowd.

021- I'm not a photographer... i'm friends with a few, and this is a constant complaint of theirs.

Its very hard to live in such an expensive town when you have hundreds of competitors who don't need to buy equiptment, or studio space in order to conduct buisiness....not to mention they usually offer their services for free, just seems like an un-level playing field, and thought i'd mention it.

083P & 101 .... If the quality of your work can't beat what students are doing for next to nothing you're in trouble.

I have a friend who hired a Brooks student for her wedding. For $100.00 an hour (couple hours) she took scads of photos and gave the disk to the bride to have her own photos made up. I can see why wedding photographers would not like it, but compare prices!

I know photographers who moved once they finished at Brooks because they recognized that being a photographer in such a student-heavy area was a losing situation. Sorry, I know SB is an amazing place, but considering the absolutely ridiculous number of people with decent (and some times fantastic) skill willing to do shoots for little or nothing, your skills either have to be superb, you need to already have a reputation or you should move.

I changed career paths so I could stay living here. I don't whine about it, I live with the choices I make. And I fully intend to use Brookies (or friends I know who graduated from there) when I have those needs. All that said, 890 has a point with the "food stylist" comment. It's really the best way to go.
