The FOODPHOTO FESTIVAL APP is the digital planer of the first international FOODPHOTO FESTIVAL October 2010 in Tarragona, Spain.
Food photography is one of the leading disciplines in professional photography and has more specialised publications, more sales and a larger audience than either fashion or news photography.
Food photography is synonymous with cutting-edge technology. It is a pioneer in using the most innovative potential of cameras, lighting and post-production to create new images boasting amazing technical and creative quality. In this respect it resembles its forerunners, the mediaeval painters, who in their day were geniuses of colouring, composition and spatial representation.
In the Baroque period, still lifes featuring food were the highest expression of human culture. Today, the best food photographers all over the world are reviving this art. The time has come for museums to exhibit their works.
Tarragona, Spain is an extraordinary host for the FOODPHOTO FESTIVAL. This glorious city generously offers its natural combination of light, location and luxury as a perfect setting for the FOODPHOTO FESTIVAL. The city’s Roman and Medieval ruins, the lovely historical city center and the magnificent harbor with its renovated dock and warehouses all contribute to an exciting atmosphere of a city offering everything from ancient treasures to modern conveniences.
