To be a successful food photographer with a chance to really stand out in social media feeds, you need to go beyond the visual qualities of a dish or drink. You must capture sensations that don’t usually transcend printed or digital matter. In short, you have to find a way to reflect temperatures, texture, scent, spiciness, sound and yes, taste. Petter Bäcklund has an almost magical ability to do this.
