A CAREER IN FOOD STYLING AND FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY – YES, IT’S POSSIBLE!
Food is and always will be a hot topic for any occasion, but two things are particularly sizzling today – Food Photography and Food Styling. These fields have no shortage of creative talents, but a few have already made their names known because of their outstanding works.
Lydia Go started out as an assistant to her top photographer husband, Eddie Go. Today, she is possibly the top food stylist in the country. It’s no wonder that she is being tapped by big food and drink brands like Nestlé, Jollibee, Greenwich, Maggi, Knorr, and many more.
Two other notable names in the industry include Chef Noel Navarro, a young Chef-Food Stylist who just returned to Manila from a stint abroad, and Chef Theo Zaragoza, Managing Director of Resultado Gourmet Designs, a food styling and food photography firm, and one of our Bounty Fresh Chefs.
Many food stylists like Lydia Go, Noel Navarro, and Theo Zaragoza charge professional fees within the range of 50,000-350,000 pesos depending on their skill and expertise. For someone with a passion for food and the arts, this can be a very lucrative career.
So where does one start? Here are some tips from the Food Styling and Food Photography masters:

Focus on Food
First and foremost, you must have a passion for food. Since food styling also requires skills in art, you must have an eye for balanced and good design. Furthermore, you must have knowledge in cooking and baking techniques. It would help if you have knowledge in photography and lighting to make the food look even more delicious. Not to worry, there is no shortage of cooking schools in the Metro that also offer courses on food styling. Chef Theo offers food styling classes for groups of 8 to 12 at Resultado Gourmet Designs.
