Some consider food photography [1] as still life art form. It is in fact a very special style of photography. One that requires great knowledge of lighting as well as an excellent understanding of compositional rules. Food photographs [2] are often used in menus, books, magazines, advertisements, and many other commercial projects.
Today we have a showcase of 35 great photos of food – beginners and pros should be able to find some inspiration in those photos.
