Sometime during the summer, I thought it would be a good idea to sign myself up for a month long food styling class beginning in mid-September. This was, of course, before I actually looked at a calendar. But here we are now in September and I have just finished week one of the course. I’ve learned several tips and tricks from a professional stylist for making salads stand tall, cold drinks look cold, cold food look hot, and adding movement to beverages. I’ve learned how to create a professional food styling kit. I have yet to learn how to make food that we are actually going to eat look more appetizing or where to put a food styling kit in my already cramped house. And because this is not a food photography class, the standard “natural light is always best” applies. In other words, don’t expect better shots of our evening meals right away as I am not going to start making and photographing dinner during the middle of the day. I love you and I love this blog, but I am just not that organized.
