ice
I partnered with my friends at Anomaly's Unreasonable Studios to create the suite of splashy images below. Jobs like this are some of my favorite — I get to be one part food stylist, one part rigger, and three parts kid-at-the-playground-with-water-balloons.
When people find out I'm a food stylist, the first question they always ask me is about how I fake it. They want to know all about the secret tricks I use to make everything "just so", and I think they're a little disappointed when they find out that there really aren't any. Sure, I carry fake rubber ice in my kit (not only does it float; it bounces!), but aside from that the food I prepare for photo and video shoots is not very different from the food I make at home, and at the end of the day pretty much all of it gets eaten.
Ok, the ice is fake.
