food porn.

I've completely forgotten about this until I recently found these photos in my computer... This post is for Joan.

There was a time when I used to do agency work that I was intrigued with food styling. It was fascinating to learn about this trade: the props, tricks and even the stylists themselves. Knowing that there was only three decent food stylists back home, I sort of wanted to be one too. I only fancied this for a short period of time until I found something else I wanted to do (read: fickle) like lighting (that ended shortly as well).

So there was this book at work that popped out of some donation box. A sort of cook book but not, more like a coffee table book about sensuality and food. Not a strange concept at all. I did think that it was all the no-nos of food styling combined together. There was something about it that was very wrong. It was both amazing and scandalous! Literally food porn!

Here it is:










At ang may pakana...


Sabi nga nila, mukha palang, ulam na.

Thanks so much pauie for dedicating this blog entry for me. The book seem to be very interesting!

ULAM nga! though I'm afraid baka thunders na yan ngayon based on the photo parang luma, or maybe I'm wrong.

Enjoy life pau!

arnie: ewan ko lang ha... very suggestive yung book na to. haha! it was donated at work... kung san nanggaling, walang may alam. haaha!

joan: the book is a good source of amusement! i think it was in the 70's... at dahil sa tagal tagal nitong libro, mukhang wala na siyang career.
