The Food Stylist's Handbook Kindle Edition

"Hundred of Media Styling Tips, Tricks and Secrets" . . .? More like THOUSANDS. Wow. My book arrived Tuesday and I can't put it down. The photos are spectacular (duh?) but even more so, the tips, tricks and secrets just keep coming, page after page. I am not sure I have ever seen professionals share so much of their trade, but I am glad they did. Thank you Denise Vivaldo for sharing your career of excellence with us all, and thanks to Cindie Flannigan for helping you through the process. "In the end, it's playing with your food!" In a world gone mad, doesn't playing with my food sounds incredibly enticing? I can't wait to get some great photos for both of my businesses. You know those friends whose Instagram photos make you nuts ('cause they're so bad)? Well here's their birthday/Christmas gift. We can all up our food photo game now!

Nothing new. Leaves out the whole social media aspect.

Half of the book is about the business of food styling, so if you're a photographer like me, you can either skip it or read it just to know more about something new. The second half is exactly what I was looking for: all the tried and tested tricks and 'secret' ingredients stylists use. As someone who loves cooking and knows quite a bit about culinary techniques, and lives in a market where food stylists are too few and way too expensive for my clients, these styling tricks are invaluable.

Purchased as a gift for my daughter who loves to entertain. I'd definitely recommend it for those who believe presentation is equally as important as the quality of the food. The book arrived quickly and I was very happy with the purchase.

THE FOOD STYLIST'S HANDBOOK by Denise Vivaldo was written to provide aid for those wanting to enter the business of creating pictures of good food as a career. It is a lovely volume and I've only marked techniques with little Post Ems instead of highlighting and underlining as I do in other books.This title is a reference book which you dip into on a need to know bases.The foods presented are the ordinary kind that any worker with food will encounter. The business tips and instructions are valuable if one is serious about food styling as a profession.Enjoy, but remember this is not a title devoted to technique and craft.Nash Black, author of SANDPRINTS OF DEATH.

Excellent material. Designed for the person who wants to pursue food styling as a career but stuffed with info for the photographer as well.

Great info, well done. I now envy those that do this but it is something that you need great skill to do well.

This book spends a lot of time on talking about how to becom a food stylist. The section on how you actually style food is relatively short and weak.

This was very 'American' what I mean by that is, some of the advice was as if you would be working in a TV studio or working in America, most of the advice was ok but for me personally it wasn't what I was expecting or really needed, not sure how to return it so I guess I'm stuck with it.

I ebjoyed this book

Great book

Darei una recensione negativa solo per limitarne la vendita e il relativo vantaggio alle competitor.Un libro fantastico pieno di trucchi per conservare e migliorare il cibo nelle foto, ha una grande parte dedicata alla gestione del business come food stylist.Non parla di fotografia, se volete imparare a fotografare il cibo da zero lasciate perdere, questo libro é troppo avanzato.Se siete blogger lasciate perdere, non potreste mangiare vi che fotografate data la chimica spesso utilizzata.

Está bien lo que he comenzado a leer, aunque la parte de los tips y trucos para fotografías, que era lo que me importaba del libro es menos del esperado. Aun así espero me funcione
