ANIA ELIAS: If you had told me even seven or eight years ago that I would become a professional food photographer, I would have laughed at you. I had taken occasional (very poor!) photos before, but it wasn’t anything serious. The decisive moment came when our children were born, and I wanted to capture the precious moments in their lives. Very quickly,
I was being drawn more and more towards food and its visual aspect. I’ve always been interested in food and cooking. Something about playing with it for the camera and how it is being presented really appealed to me. Instantly, I knew it was the start of something special! It very quickly became a total obsession of mine and has remained so ever since.
Fujifilm has upped the resolution ante with the launch of the X-H2. Previously, 40 megapixels was the preserve of full-frame sensors, but now it’s available in a more compact and lightweight body. Ania Elias was one of the first photographers to try the new camera, with its detail- rich X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor ideally suited to her indulgent food portraits. We caught up with her, finding out how she got started as a photographer and her thoughts on Fujifilm’s latest offering.
