Award winning Tucson, Arizona based food photographer Jackie Alpers (Jacqueline Alpers) specializes in unique food, people and lifestyle images. She takes a unique approach to food photography. Jackie uses a reportage style, capturing the food and the experience, as-served. Later, she works the image in her studio, adding her signature painterly touch to the piece. Often Jackie's work includes people, setting a mood, and bringing the viewer into the human experience of the food we eat.
"Though my technique may first be perceived as strictly reportage, I do skew the viewer's perception by "painting" on the photos using light and shadow in post-production." She lets food be food. "I eat (or at least taste) everything that I shoot. Eating is an emotional and multi-sensory experience. It's about color and texture as well as a certain place and time."
