First post and all that so I'll jump straight in. I welcome the change that has become evident in both food and food photography. Good food has been democratised and become part of a modern lifestyle. King Jamie has made cooking cool and food photograhy, as in life imitating art and art imitating life has indeed and of course changed and reflected that. As with any type of change people, generally older, resist. It happens with everything. Especially art. People want to look at inviting and enticing pictures. Not Delias fingers in a bowl of flour. People bemoan those that use things for no other reason than "visual effect" but I ask where does taste begin? Sight was a sense the last time I opened my eyes. The "nice girls at the prom" analogy earlier was a good one - who wants to go out with an ugly girl?
