Food styling is a pain point for me. It’s a lot harder than it looks! I’ve been practicing for a while now and learning things along the way, but it seems like it’s a skill that is slowly developed versus mastering it over night. I wish I was better at it; I want my readers to know how good something will taste by just looking at the pictures. But trying to convey the key tastes of food in pictures is not easy!
I don’t want my readers to look at a picture of mine and wonder if it will taste as good as I say it does. I want you to know right away that it will be a keeper! So thank you for hanging in there with me and being patient while I work on mastering the art of enticing you with my pictures!
