With fine-art food photography, lighting, composition, and styling create a distinct mood. And the images may or may not be realistic. Food photographers work to create and capture these beautiful and enticing images of food for magazines, cookbooks, restaurant promotional materials, and Web sites. They work with food stylists to make the food look as appetizing and aesthetically beautiful as possible.
