Science, Art and Food in "Modernist Cuisine"

Science, Art and Food in "Modernist Cuisine" | Modernist Cuisine | Scoop.it

I’d like to recommend a series of books both beautiful and informative for this very purpose. Modernist Cuisine is a six volume, oversized set of books that are part instruction, part food history, part culture lesson and a bit of gorgeous food photography. It’s the kind of book that makes me feel a little bad for the writers because, although their writing is well-done, informative and shows in-depth knowledge on the topic, it’s a bit hard for readers to pull their eyes away from the vibrant photographs to read the text.

The Art of Food Photography

The Art of Food Photography | Modernist Cuisine | Scoop.it

In terms of shear spectacle nothing beats Nathan Myhrvold’s food photography for his ground-breaking, six-volume Modernist Cuisine (the pictures alone are repackaged in the slightly more affordable The Photography of Modernist Cuisine). Myhrvold and his team use close ups and special techniques that show pans sliced in half and vegetables in mid flip to create some amazing images. But he’s also like the rest of us and uses a phone camera when out and about—his top tip when photographing food is to sit where there is good light, or failing that, have a supplementary light source (he carries a flash light); in a pinch, the back of a menu can be drafted to act as a reflector to add light to a scene.

Melissa Lukach's insight:

The Portland Mercury honors International Food Photography day and calls Modernist Cuisine's photography the best in terms of food photography.
