This role is ideal for someone with a passion for food, a keen eye for detail, and a desire to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. As an Assistant Food Stylist, you will work closely with senior food stylists, photographers, chefs, and art directors to ensure that food looks visually appealing and meets the creative vision of each project.
Your responsibilities will include preparing ingredients, organizing tools and props, assisting with food arrangement, and maintaining cleanliness on set. You will also help with sourcing ingredients and props, managing inventory, and ensuring that all food items are fresh and presentable.
