My name is Nicole Young and I'm a photographer and author.
I wrote this book for people who love food and for photographers of all levels who want
to create beautiful images of food.
Food is a challenging subject because we are so used to smelling and tasting what we eat,
but with photography we can only rely on our sense of sight.
When food looks appetizing in a photograph we are tricked into believing that it tastes
good, too.
In the book I cover basic photographic technique, along with different types of equipment you
can use to photograph food, including lighting setups with natural light, flashes and strobes.
I show some of the tricks I use to style and plate food for a photograph.
There's a section on post-processing using Adobe Photoshop.
And I also included an entire chapter showing the behind the scenes of several food setups
from start to finish.
I hope this book helps to ignite your passion for food photography and inspires you to create
delicious works of art.
