Food as Art #2

Food Stylist

According to the article, "You’re what? Food Stylist," the author introduces a food stylist; Lisa. In the article, Lisa prepares food for taking picture. She always thinks how food looks like in front of camera. Also, she concerns food's realistic looking as well. For doing her job, she contacts with other art directors, advertise agent, and food photographers. For example, she tries to make ice cube that looks real one, but not melting. She adds food stylist is good as a job, because she can create some food’s recipes and stay around food all the time. In the article, she does not think she just does the work. By thinking of food’s design, she transfers simple food to inspiring art work.
In my point of view, the food stylist is a job creating art. By doing the job, she can contact with others. By meeting art director, she can hear other artist’s opinion. That is different kind of art activity; social relationship. How about the food that made by her? It looks good, so it is going to engage people. By taking good looking food’s pictures, the visual effect is going to change to emotion. As our society is expanding, people want to eat not only delicious food also good looking food. Actually, people feel to want to eat when they see fabulous food pictures. My next point of view is that food art can be career tool that can earn money. It could sound weird. Nevertheless, food stylist can earn pretty much money by working art stuff. So, human daily activities (eating food) can be part of art working (taking pictures or draw picture of food), and that could be related with another kind of human activities (earning money) again. Food stylist is good example art is pretty much relates with our daily life.
