 *  Food photography is still life photography.
 *  The photographers must create glamour shots and make the food as appealing to the consumer as possible. This often includes using fake food to make it look better on camera.
 *  According to Indeed.com, the average annual salary for food photographers is $42,000. The rates charged are determined by the photographer's level of experience and expertise. Freelance food photographers have more power over what they charge, but they pay out of pocket for benefits such as health insurance. The average hourly rate for new food photographers may range from $120 to $250, depending on the location and type of assignment.
 *  Having a bachelors degree in photography is not required but obviously helpful when wanted to be a career photographer. Having a “good eye” is often more important than formal education as you can still get photography jobs without a degree. However, classes in culinary arts and business can be important for freelance food photographers.
 *  Food photographers work in a studio to make the food look as good as possible whether this is the studio of a company or if they’re freelance, their own studio.

I’m interested in this career because I love food and also I like the glamour type of photography. I honestly think it would be difficult to do this for a living, especially a freelance photographer, because it would be hard to book jobs but when you do book jobs I think it would be fun.

I plan to do a series of photos that include the natural ingredients of food and then a picture of the final dish; sort of like a visual recipe. I will mimic the studio setting in my house as well for this project.
