Cafe Secret Ceviche before and after
It’s always a treat for me to get to team up with a talented food stylist and go around town photographing the best food in San Diego. For our best restaurants feature this year, I worked with food stylist Maria Sparks. Maria has styled for a handful of our month-watering food features, such as the Asian Food Guide in October. If you need an example of her work, take a look at this: (After shot above; before shot below). Maria Sparks created this fab ceviche transformation. Seem different than traditional Baja ceviche? This is Peruvian ceviche from Café Secret.
Food styling is an art form unto itself. Here are five tools of the trade Maria Sparks shared with us:
Zap-A-Gap
Glycerinie
Kitchen Bouquet
Mineral Oil
Paper Towels
