How celebrity cook books use food photographers as the main ingredient.

Food Photographer Cook book Leeds Yorkshire UK

1st October 2012

With the Christmas book market beginning to gather pace, one of the most popular areas will be the cookery book.

The ongoing rise of the celebrity chef and the associated book make these publications a top choice for a Christmas gift.

Each chef often accompanied by their own particular TV show will attract a certain section of the viewing public.

If you have ever bought or been given one of these cook books, you are as much buying into the celebrity persona and life view as much as the actual food they cook.

When turning the pages of these books you will note that all have taken advantage of using a professional food photographer.

Turning a recipe into a mouth watering image is the job of the pro photographer and almost certainly a food stylist and art director/client too.

Professional food photographers will have many years experience in studio and location photography to call upon when dealing with food products for advertising and publication.

Throughout Leeds, one of the largest cities in the UK, professional photographers and studios offer food shoots as part of their services.
