I created the first food photography membership site called The Food Photography Club. This is a site dedicated to all things food photography, teaching everything you need to know to become a food photographer with video content, live webinars, and a community environment. The Club was launched in April of 2017 and we have several hundred active members.” Check it out!
Rebecca is a Los Angeles commercial food and beverage photographer with a diverse photography background in which all roads led to food. Her work often features colorful maximalist tablescapes packed with overflowing dishes or stark graphic subjects isolated in time and space, whilst others skew dark and full of a chiaroscuro atmosphere, each image telling a story. Rebecca also prides herself in being low waste with her approach to food, in her words, “Food is a super important part of all of our lives, it’s what gets us out the door in the morning and makes us feel at home when we return, it’s what we worry about when times are tough. So it’s very important to me not to waste the food I photograph. The vast majority of the food I work with is edible, gets shared or donated after, and I strive to avoid any tricks that render it inedible. Food waste and food scarcity are important issues that affect all of our communities and I hope to be a part in combating both throughout my career.” She has worked with brands and publications such as LA Times, DoorDash, Top Ramen, Dole, Seedlip, Seagrams, Templeton Rye, and El Tesoro etc.
