Book on plating?

I know that these exists:

 

Bendersky Ari - "1,000 Food Art & Styling Ideas"


Denbury Jo - "Food Presenting Secrets: Creative Styling Techniques"


Styler Christopher - "Working the Plate: The Art of Food Presentation"


But I never had the chance to give them a look, so I don't know if they are any good.

I tried to find the same things but ended up just googling images of food and seeing how others plate it. 

 

E.g., if I'm serving short ribs, I would google image Thomas Keller short ribs or maybe "fine dining short ribs" and get ideas and try to plate my own dish in a similar way that makes sense

Most commercial food photography is faked. Dishes are only half cooked; sometimes painted; propped up by hidden struts etc. Then there is the post-processing including Photoshop etc.

Creative plating and commercial food photography are two different things.

I like to look at the presentations in Art Culinaire. The photography is great, the style is "current", and it makes me hungry.

Got my first issue. It’s incredible. Hardcover. A ton of recipes. In grams! Blew me away. Can’t believe I’m getting 4 issues for $68. They are literally cookbooks!
