Hi MM!

Just got to read this blog as I’ve been googling food photography. I am representing an up-and-coming food photographer who does not “style” the food. She’s really talented, as she comes from the Baldemor clan. Her philosophy is that she does not “touch” the subject, but lets the lights and shadows do it to make it more enticing. Hope you can “feature” her in one of your blogs. Just email me or give me a call/text at 09209048659 so I could set up a “photo date.” Her name’s Charming Baldemor. Truly talented.

I think your photos are good and the content is what makes me come back here. :-) Ako din, I don’t think I can be a food stylist but fortunate enough to be gifted with steady hands using a non-pro cam similar to yours.

Hi MM,

Your photos look very good to me. I’d rather see honesty written over a photographed dish although i must say too that food stylying is an art in itself.

“ordering a dish at Jollibee only to have it come (and not look like the photo and I make wangot) wondering why my misua only has two meatballs rather than the 6 in the photo”

– Now, that IS dishonest. But that’s not the food stylist’s fault; it’s the client’s. The times I’ve worked with food clients, they were very strict about shooting the food exactly how it would be served. When ads or menus aren’t realistic, the client should be blamed. The food stylist is just following directions. :-)
