photo styling

this past month, i learned about helene dujardin, an extraordinary food stylist. just as a good photo of food should, the pictures she takes would make anyone want to stick their hand in their computer screen for a bite of that decadent chocolate cake or perfectly ripe pear. 

as i continue to write for this blog, i become more and more interested in photo styling, always wanting to take that perfect picture that's going to make you readers want to eat, create or do what i'm doing. but i want to get better...
mais qu'est-ce que c'est ca?! what luck! helene just published a photo styling book, called plate to pixel, teaching readers how to take that delectable shot.
