Thank you, Elizabeth Hazard for chatting with me about food photography, salad dressings, salsas, Vitamixes… and more for Beyondish. Here’s an excerpt: “I majored in both photography and illustration in college and was always drawn to the symbolism and visual appeal of food. I started my career as a managing photo editor and worked in partnership with many of the world’s top creative directors. I started getting editorial assignments that focused on food and restaurants and realized that I could express myself more effectively through still-life images than images of people. A good food photograph has many of the same qualities that make any photo successful – composition; color or tonal range; attention to detail; and the ability to tell a story and/or evoke an emotional reaction, which in this case may be hunger, desire, happiness, or nostalgia.”
