#64 - How to create powerful food photos by evoking emotion with Suze Morrison - part 2

My Food Lens

Don’t you love it when someone says,

“This photo reminds me of how my mom cooked.”

“Your photo made me go and bake a chocolate cake.”

“I can literally taste it just by looking at the photo.”

These words are the result of the emotion your photo evokes in a viewer.

As food photographers, we want to create photos that not only look beautiful but connect with the viewer at a deep emotional level.

When viewers connect with a photo, they see the story, they interpret the art, and feel like they’ve been transported into it - that is the ultimate success of a food photo

..and it cannot happen without the secret ingredient of emotion.

Today we continue our conversation with the amazing, Suze Morrison @gourmetglow on evoking emotion in food photography.

In this part, Suze talks about finding your style through emotion, the relationship between storytelling and emotion in photography and how to create a photography process that is not only streamlined & efficient but also brings out your best work.

Food is an emotion.

Art is also an emotion.

And photography is art.

That makes it even more essential to have a strong element of emotion in our photography to create a photo that moves the viewer.

A successful photo is not only technically sound but has a strong element of emotion. Technique and emotion should balance each other and one without the other is incomplete.

Start creating powerful food photos by evoking emotion.
