• Work with a variety of regular and new freelance photographers, prop stylists, and assistants on set to creatively and efficiently complete shot lists
• Potential for acting as on-camera hand talent for cooking videos
• Potential for recipe development and writing, but not required

REQUIREMENTS

• 2+ years on-set food and/or prop styling or assisting experience, more a plus
• Demonstrated food styling work in line with Food52’s style 
• Culinary school and/or substantial other cooking experience required
• Propping interest and experience a big plus
