Food Photography and Styling – John Carafoli

Excerpt from PIXSYLATED.COM article on Learning Food Photography (Part I)

Dare I say that John Carafoli is the godfather of modern food styling? In addition to having several decades of styling experience, having been published internationally and having taught many of today’s leading stylists, John is the co-founder of the International Conference On Food Styling and Photography (to be held again next year in Boston). The current edition of Food Photography and Styling was re-published directly by the author in 2003. Many thanks for this, John. The original edition, published by Amphoto in 1992, has long been out of print. Chapters include: Drinks, Poultry, Steam, Pizza, Ice Cream, Pasty, Special Effects and Shooting On Location With People. While some of the photography is dated by today’s standards, John shares many styling secrets that are as relevant now as they were when this classic was born. Order from the author for $65 postpaid – and ask that he autograph your copy. Sometimes available from Trengove Studios for a bit less (and without the autograph). [Carafoli, 2nd Edition, © 2003, 144 pages, 8.5" x 10.5", $65, limited availability]
