Food photography is going to be called for in many situations. When a restaurant opens up, when somebody is throwing an event, when a pub wants to begin offering food as part of their service offering… however, is there enough demand to make a career from food photography?

It all depends on how many clients you are able to secure. It is never going to be especially secure work running your own photography business or working as a freelance photographer. This is because it is a supply and demand business. If the demand goes down for whatever reason, you business could be in the firing line.

If you are really good about what you do and passionate about both food and photography, it can be a viable career option. Make sure you have an excellent portfolio and become the go-to person in your area. Make sure you’re skilled in other areas of photography as well to make your services more appealing.
