Thinking Food Jobs, January 24, 2025
It is no secret that we care what our food looks like, not just on the plate, but also in the media, and it takes a skilled team to make it work. If you have photography skills here are some options for you:
The New York Times is hiring a Staff Photo Editor, Cooking
Land O’Lakes, in Arden Hills, MN, needs an on-call Recipe Photographer
Webstaurant Store, based in Lititz, PA, has an opening for a Product Photographer
Relevant Local Media in Houston is hiring a Food Videography & Photographer
All those photographers are going to need something attractive to capture in their work. Here are some roles for the food stylists to make it happen:
Graze on Main, in East Greenwich, RI, needs a Kitchen Prep + Food Stylist
Equator Design in Chicago has an opening for a Food Stylist
Dotdash Meredith, based in Des Moines, needs a Food Stylist to work with their brands
A schedule note before you proceed to the rest of the this: I’ll be on vacation next week, and will have another full post for you on February 7.
