Before Food Photography There Was the Butcher's Shop Painting
Open any restaurant’s feed and the meat looks the same. Shot from directly above, on slate or bare wood, lit evenly, cropped so tightly that nothing else survives in the frame. It is a solved problem, solved the same way every time.
Painters worked on the same subject for four centuries and never once solved it that way. Raw meat has a long and strange career in European art, and the pictures it produced are far more inventive than anything a phone camera does with a rib of beef.
