Using food photography as home decor

You've probably seen some photography books in book stores or maybe, during Christmas time, someone has given to you one of them.

Food Photography is linked to Food Design, the new international discipline created around 2004, and focused on food and groceries, regulated and developed with the classical rules of visual art and visual design.

But Food Design and Food Photography are not so new. Just look at Toblerone and Pringles, a kind of food based on appearance and on design.

You may wonder why we speak about food photography in a site focused on home decor. The reason is because the latest trend is using food photography ad home decor. You can use the pictures depicting different ingredients for decorating the kitchen or the living room.

The posters are all the rage. Without frame, maybe turned into stickers, as background for the back wall of the dining table.
Or to fix with a little pantry, normally left blank and simple, but also a bit 'sad.

Personally crazy for the illustrated recipes. Of unique images in which, under the title, for example, of a given cake, are immortalized the individual ingredients, delightfully arranged in the order of use.

Not long ago, even the low cost giant Ikea, has launched something similar, but unfortunately only in Sweden. Hembakat ?r Bast, or Homemade is best, it is a fun book free kitchen, which includes photos of various foods and ingredients unstructured, portrayed by Carl Kleiner and Evelina Bratell, in a mix of Zen spirit, abstract and perfect together.

If you prefer to pick any individual, on the Internet there are many specialized sites that help in initiating a photographic technique, providing practical advice and tips. And during the year will not be difficult to find even a single weekend workshop, to combine a trip outside , maybe food and wine, in a course of food photography, focusing on the micro realities of the territory of Italy.

And if you are very artistic and want to revel in pencils and colors, I suggest, finally, Food Book of Mart^ Guixé.

A notebook, extra large format, where to draw your own meals, before or after the cucinamento varied. A book on, great for stimulating creativity and imagination in children and adults. (Corraini Editions, p. 32, 16 Euros).
