From the sizzle of a skillet to the intricate details of a beautifully plated dish, food photography is not only a feast for the eyes, but invites the viewer on a gastronomic exploration. Good food photography should make your taste buds tingle, demonstrate the artistry of a talented chef, and even take you on a cultural and historical journey. It’s essential when it comes to heightening diner’s expectations and getting them through the door.
Food photography is all around us. In cookbooks, food photography transforms recipes into culinary journeys, guiding aspiring chefs through techniques and presentations. Restaurant menus attract diners and offer them a preview of the culinary delights that await them. Magazines leverage food photography to narrate captivating stories about chefs, cuisines, and the evolving gastronomic landscape. From mouthwatering social media posts, to enticing images on food delivery platforms, food photography serves as the mouthpiece of culinary experiences, inviting the rest of us to take part.
Every dish has a story to tell. Whether it’s a representation of rich cultural traditions, a blend of delicious culinary delicacies, or an innovative indulgence created by a master chef – it’s my responsibility to translate that story into photography that entices and delights. From the dishware and napkins, to the table we photograph on, all aspects of the shoot will be strategically planned in order to weave a story they can salivate over.
My team has contracted Isabel for dozens of projects over the past 5 years, ranging from capturing the magical moments at a festive celebration, to intricate, detailed food shoots for our social media and web-based hospitality marketing. Isabel has a great eye for the right visuals, is a tireless perfectionist completely dedicated to the quality of her art, and somehow manages to be a positive, energizing element on every project. She can get close-ups of event participants eating, laughing, and partying without ever getting in the way, an almost unteachable skill that makes her live event work discreet and effective.
Bottom line: we use Isabel exclusively for our most important campaigns because the quality of her work is far superior to her competition. It’s a bonus that she is so personable and professional - we always look forward to the next collaboration.
Isabel is an experienced pro photographer whom I got to know while we were working on an apparel brand startup. She was personable, knowledgeable, and extremely thoughtful throughout the planning and execution of our campaign. When we met to speak about her process, she thought of every detail pertaining to what we’d need for the shoot, created a thoughtful shot list, scoped out potential sites, and even brought her own resources to the forefront so that we could make the photoshoot happen on a tight budget and timeframe. She brought her multifaceted creative perspective to our shoot, which I valued highly.
When directing the shoot and the models, Isabel kept everyone on a timetable that was highly efficient and organized while maintaining a fun and friendly atmosphere and making sure we got the shots we needed in the alotted time. I would definitely hire Isabel again for a professional shoot, she was excellent to work with and someone that I’ll gladly keep in my proverbial Rolodex of creative talent.
Isabel is a fantastic photographer. We had the pleasure of working with her for a large conference with participants from all around the world.
She was amazingly present throughout the entire event, took photographs of the highest quality, and was prompt and communicative throughout the whole post-production process. Would recommend her for events of any and all sizes.
Isabel's photography is dramatically different than what you'd normally see from an event.
As an attendee and co-creator of the Climate Changes Everything conference, Isabel captured the passion, energy and intensity of the participants. I loved seeing their joyful smiles and impassioned discussions. Such beautiful work!
Consider food photography a “dish best served before they even enter the restaurant.” It’s designed to entice diners through the door and add your venue to their “must-see” list.
