How is difference between a food stylist and a prop stylist ?

First of all, prop styling and food styling both involve a combination of art and design. However, food stylists focus specifically on plating, which is unique to the food and beverage industry, while prop stylists can work in various industries such as products, interior design, and not just limited to F&B.

If you are curious about their rates, I would say that food stylists charge more than prop stylists because food stylists require a wide range of techniques and ingredients, particularly in the field of food science, not just to make the food look delicious to the eyes.

Food stylist - styling dish / plating

Prop stylist - styling elements / props around the plate related with the theme design.
