Picture Perfect Food: Master the Art of Food Photography with 52 Bite-Sized Tutorials

Do you love food? Do you love photography? This is perfect work at your own pace challenges! Jeannie is an amazing instructor!

I Love Joanie’s work and have followed her for a while. This book had all the right tips to help better my food photography

I’ve been following Joanie for some time on YouTube and she has taught me so much about food photography. I highly recommend this book for beginners because it consolidates so much information out there and Joanie has a very simple way to explain it all. I also recommend this book for the intermediate photographers out there who want to keep little reminders about what to do in specific cases.

This book not only helped me to take better pictures it taught me how to operate my camera without having to take a class.

…and isn’t that the point? To see photos that evoke a feeling that make you want to eat what you see? This book is fantastic—and I admit I am a hobbyist not a professional—covering gear, lighting, composition, props, and pretty much anything you’ll need to get some great shots of food. Joanie Simon has a friendly and supportive style, making me feel I like I *could* do this, and frankly, I can’t wait to start! Yum!

I have been reading this everyday and I love how I have been drawn into thinking and reflecting why I fell in love with food photography. Re-learning and learning new things with this book without being overly saturated with information! I love the little challenges she put into this book since I get an idea how to apply each topic in real life and how to get better at the craft.Also, there’s a high chance of getting hungry while reading this. I was reading this at 3am and all I can think about is wanting to eat the sandwich on the book.

Joanie is an incredible photographer and teacher. This book is everything I wish I had when I first began my food photography journey. Although Joanie focuses on artificial lights, this book is perfect for food photographers who either use natural light primarily or artificial lights. The book is packed with information that is easy to understand. There are also a lot of activities to practice the concepts. I highly recommend it and am already reading through it a second time and I'm sure there will be many more re-reads.

I love the authors work. I didn’t know what expect when getting this kind of book. I am pleased with it. She an excellent food photographer. I’ve enjoyed her YouTube channel as well.
