I’m beginning to think that food photography is an excellent way to exercise the frustrated former-painter aspect of my personality. I shot with food stylist/chef Michelli Knauer last week. She made sardines with eggs and beets! The color combo is worthy of praise, no?
I really enjoy moving blocks of color around. It reminds me of the good part of making paintings : using words like facture and watching colorful chemicals interact on stretched canvas i.e. not the part where I was up at 3 am smelling turpentine in a brightly-lit room wondering who I was and what I was doing.
