I am currently in my final year at Winchester School Of Art studying Fashion Promotion . For my final major project I am aiming to design and create a photography based publication around the concepts of both fashion and food.
In recent years there seems to have been a sudden increase in television cookery programs which has sparked a trend in food. People seem to be fascinated with it, (as am I), whether it be written about in blogs, be a recipe iphone app, a cookery book or food photography, its everywhere and people can’t seem to get enough of it.
I would be incredibly grateful if you could spend a few minutes to answer the following questions and expand on any topics which you think could benefit the progress of my research.
