FOOD STYLIST

Tobe LeMoine '85"The CIA prepared me by giving me an awareness of ingredients, food science, how to fabricate meats, running a business, everything. I use that training in my job every day, and my CIA contacts help me connect with new clients."

Food stylists are the creative professionals who make food "camera-ready." They artfully prepare and arrange food with appropriate props (plates, silverware, and accessories) for still or video photography. It's their job to ensure that the food and its presentation are appetizing, technically correct, and visually appealing. You'll find food stylists working for magazines, newspapers, corporations, cookbooks, catalogs, television, and movies either on staff or as free-lancers. In this career, you need to be artistic, precise, patient, and versatile.
