Feasting on Art

Hello.

My name is Megan Fizell and I started this blog to combine my love for art, food, and photography. I was educated as an art historian and went on to gain an MA in art business. By day I work as an associate at an art gallery here in Sydney while also doing projects as a freelance photographer (visit Tres Jolie Studios). I have a collection of images available to license through Getty and also a print shop.

My infatuation with still life paintings began with a 20 page paper about Manet’s Fish (Still Life) for my Art Postseminar at University. Although still life paintings are viewed as a dated genre, I find the underlying dialogue between society and their material possessions very relevant to contemporary life. My favorite still life photographers include Aya Brackett, Martin Parr, Mark Menjivar, and Marian Drew and I have begun a small collection of contemporary prints.

I shoot all of the images on the website with my Canon 5D Mark II. I primarily work with a 24-70mm lens and natural light. All of the contents of this site and my Flickr account are protected by copyright. Please send me an email at tresjoliestudios AT gmail DOT com if you would like to use anything in print or on the web.
