Black and White Food Photography Series

Black and white are two words that don’t seemingly go together in food photography.

While I just adore black and white photography, I’m sure we’ve all experienced just how ‘wrong’ images of food can look in a black and white medium.

This simple medium has such powerful storytelling and really allows you to focus on the emotion of the overall image.

So I wanted to challenge myself by shooting a series that was black and white to give the appearance of food being as true to 'black and white' as real food allows. 

I focused on bringing out the texture in the food and used light to enhance those textures.
