Leia's Food Photography
These pictures are unedited shots before she was given the photo editing software.
What she has learned:
- photo composition
- food styling
- tricks of the trade
- lighting
What she has really learned:
- food styling is actually more important than the photography ("you can't make chicken salad out of chicken poop")
- this would be an incredibly fun and challenging profession

Pixelator Photo Editing Software
Leia is now mastering not only food styling and photography, but also how to manipulate those photos once taken. This last step is now an industry standard and clearly makes almost any photo more attractive to the eye. I resisted this part of the process out of 'purity of the picture' but was convinced that even a camera can't capture the true beauty our eyes both see and want to see.
