Food Photographer: Beatrice Peltre

Examples:

Beatrice enjoys taking pictures of homegrown and natural foods. She came out with a cook book in 2011. She takes pictures for things like Trader Joe’s and Chronicle Books. I like her pictures because it shows the food in a sort of just ripe, ready to go, natural element, before being incorporated into your meals. Then she shows the food rotting or mixed with other foods.
