Pierogies, Poland and Phoode…Oh My!
Episode 40: I took notes so you didn’t have to….today we are talking with Marta from FoodPolka.com and creator of Phoode!
Marta is an incredible creative. She wears many hats in the Food Photography world. From being a Creative Director, to a world renowned food stylist and even a photographer. She has been in the industry for many years and saw that it was lacking a place for creative like minded folks in the industry to be able to network, be seen and possibly land a few jobs along the way. Enter, Phoode.
If you are in the industry in any capacity or looking to hire food creatives than I would really recommend checking the site out. Marta is currently looking for investors to take it to the next level so if you happen to have a lump sum of cash that you’re looking to do something amazing with you can connect with her here.
Food Stylist Must Haves…
Tweezers, may different sizes and kinds like this one and this one.
Trays, any kind but these quarter sheet pans are my favorite.
Vegetable Glycerin which can be used in MANY ways when it comes to Food Styling.
Rubbing Alcohol for cleaning up objects and getting finger prints off of things.
Heat Gun, a great melter!
Different sizes of toothpicks or these
How to use Phoode
On Phoode the best way to get seen is by labeling your photos correctly when you post them under your projects. Think beyond just what the subject is. How’s the lighting? What type of photography is this? What is it highlighting? You can only use so many of them so use them thoughtfully and wisely.
It’s quality not quantity on this site. This is not instagram. Post as often as you like but make sure you are posting the most high quality images that showcases your best work.
