Jackie Alpers, an experienced food photographer and author of The Unofficial Yellowstone Cookbook and Taste of Tucson, discovered her passion for food photography while working as a health resort publicist.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1. Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings, I’m Jackie Alpers, a seasoned food photographer and the author behind The Unofficial Yellowstone Cookbook and Taste of Tucson. My foray into the world of food photography began during my tenure as a publicist at a health resort, where my passion for capturing delectable dishes and culinary experiences was ignited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pursued my photography education at the Columbus College of Art & Design, situated in the vibrant city of Columbus, Ohio. This academic journey provided me with a solid foundation and a wealth of creative insights to further develop my skills and passion for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first shot was of my little brother crouching in the driveway sucking his thumb, our family station wagon was parked in the garage behind him. I took it with a Mickey Mouse 110 camera at the grocery store that came loaded with black and white film. I was 7 or 8 years old at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use a Canon 5Ds and prime lenses including the 100 and 50 macros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My aspiration is to maintain a trajectory of consistent accomplishment and establish a career that not only thrives in the present but also stands the test of time, marked by sustainability and enduring success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q6. What compliment inspired\/touched you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m touched by every compliment that comes my way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q7. What THREE (3) words describe your photography style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic, colourful and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q8. Congratulations! As the winner of the London Photography Awards, what does it mean for you and your team to receive this distinction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you! It’s a huge honour and I’m thrilled! I’m so excited to share the Unofficial Yellowstone cookbook with the world in October 2023!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q9. Can you explain a bit about the winning work you entered into the 2023 London Photography Awards, and why you chose to enter this project?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wrote and photographed The Unofficial Yellowstone Cookbook which was inspired by visually striking, dramatic and conceptually captivating hit television series Yellowstone,  an updated American Western that takes place in Montana and Texas. The photographs illustrate my recipes in the cookbook which were inspired by the region as well as the series storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
