LA is seen by many as a melting pot of ethnic cuisine from all over the world. Some of the best restaurants can be found during a short stroll through many of the streets in the area. With the rise of social media, it is imperative for restaurants in LA to advertise their specialties to the world.
The need for advertising the best food makes the demand for a food photographer in LA skyrocket. Restaurants want to find the best photographers to showcase their wares. Not all photographers can capture the essence of a dish and make their photographs enough to induce hunger pangs to viewers.
Food photography is an art and in an area where there is a glut of good restaurants, it can be a very competitive and a rather lucrative opportunity for those who excel in this craft.
