Food photographer Mary Lagier, San Luis Obispo, California

Mary Lagier's food photography has appeared in multiple print publications, and some of her clients include the Magnolia Network, The Infatuation, Hungryroot, and King Arthur Baking. But her background isn’t in photography or media: actually it’s in computer engineering. Mary chatted with me about her natural engineering and math-minded qualities, the way the pandemic made several (good) decisions for her, and she even gave some tips on how to take good food photos with a smartphone.
