Dominic Episcopo
Philadelphia
Dominic Episcopo is a Philadelphia-based, internationally recognised artist and pioneer of food photography and the lifestyle photography movement. His early inspiration centered on low-fi rock and roll, and the ability to capture the candid, even in portraiture.
His iconic book, 'Meat America', explores the uniquely American relationship and identification-with meat, exploring the personification of different cuts. His photography of food is equally studied and personal. It evokes the lush displays of a Baroque still life, with the mis-en-scene of Italian neorealism.
Both elevated and nostalgic, Dominic’s ability to capture elegant sensuality and emotionality in his food photography creates an impressive and versatile portfolio across advertising campaigns for global brands, cookbooks and culinary editorial publications, web commerce, fashion, as well as in private collections.
