Food Blogger Wright Kitchen Embraces Color
It started with a love for photography and a desire to learn how to cook anything and everything. Now Brittany Wright, a self-made Seattle-based food photographer has been named one of Business Insider’s 10 Best Food Photographers and one of the 20 Best Food Instagrammers in the Country by Thrillist.
Taking one’s passions to social media and making a livelihood of it seems to be a modern Cinderella story, and Brittany Wright did just that. Wright Kitchen hosts a vast array of photography and client portfolios. Her subject is fresh food, creating stunning visual arrangements and gradients of local fruits and vegetables that she hopes will challenge the way people look at food. “I hope to make people question why they don’t like broccoli or why they don’t like kale.”
Brittany is incredibly grateful for the support and business she has received, working with many clients including Samsung and Dry Soda.
More importantly, she hopes her art will inspire people to shop local when it comes to groceries. “If you go to a supermarket, everything is imported as far as from South America. It’s not the same nutrients, it doesn’t taste the same, it grows mold the next day. There’s a reason it all looks the same; it’s machine made.”
Her next step is embarking on a cross-country road trip to photograph small farms across the nation. Many people don’t know they have access to fresh food and farms nearby, so her goal with this trip is to use social media to show people what beautiful and healthy options they have.
Someday, Wright hopes to work for even larger companies while having her own larger garden to do what she loves on the side. “Some people would call it selling out. I just think it’s reaching for a bigger audience to look at…carrots,” she says with a laugh.
Wright aspires to become a blend of two of her biggest heroes: Martha Stewart and Andy Warhol, and she’s certainly on her way! When it comes to her art, she says that she chooses to “keep it weird” above all else.
Sharing art, sharing food, spreading the word—as her idol Martha Stewart would say, it’s a good thing.
