Tyler Brooks – Food Stylist & Visual Storyteller

Bringing Recipes to Life

Some people taste food first with their mouths. I believe we taste it first with our eyes.

I grew up in Atlanta, sketching comic strips and taking photos with an old camera my uncle gave me. While I never imagined I’d end up in food photography, one moment changed everything: capturing a homemade peach cobbler on my kitchen counter. The golden crust, the bubbling filling, the way the sunlight hit just right—it looked as good as it tasted.

Since then, I’ve made it my mission to show the beauty of food and tell its story through images. At Dishes & Recipes, I bring recipes to life visually, making sure every dish looks as delicious as it truly is.

Why I Specialize in Food Styling & Photography

Recipes aren’t just about taste—they’re about experience.

The swirl of frosting on a cupcake, the steam rising from a bowl of soup, the glossy crust of fresh bread… these details tell a story before the first bite. My role is to capture those moments, to style food in a way that feels authentic, warm, and irresistible.

I want readers to feel like they can reach into the screen, pick up a fork, and take a bite.
