Want to learn how to become a food photographer? 
Andrew Scrivani is a New York based freelance photographer, food stylist, writer, blogger and talks about how he got his start in this business and how you became a Food Porn Professional.
We talk about what to put in your kit for around $4,000 to start and why it’s so important to have professional gear to garner respect from your peers.
He shares some great ideas on marketing yourself, like how to connect with editors, and various insights into determining your pricing models, and the evolution of refining your style beyond softening light and shooting with a shallow depth of field.
This was a fun interview and I hope you enjoy it as much as had doing it.
