Food photography enthusiasts are always on the lookout for more flexibility and versatility. In addition to food photography in fully equipped studios, an increasingly dynamic style of food photography is practiced at home, in restaurants, by producers or during picnics in the park.

What is creativity for Ania Elias?

Creativity for me is many things. Perhaps easiest will be to start with what creativity is not. Creativity is not perfectionism – if you can’t consider the possibility of making a mistake, I don’t believe you can take creative risk. You have to give yourself permission (and expect!) to make mistakes. Creativity can be frightening at times. For example, you may have doubts that you will succeed, or fear the unknown. Once I realized that you can’t avoid uncertainty in your creative journey, that it needs to be embraced, I found the process much more relaxing.

One secret weapon that I recommend everyone has in their styling kit is Maggi Liquid Seasoning.
