Don’t forget Granny… While we are celebrating the moms in our lives, nice to also think about Grandma. Sweet photo collection by photographer Gabriele Galimberti celebrating grandmothers around the globe and their signature dish. Galimberti traveled to 58 countries where he shot his subjects with the original ingredients and the completed meal. Subjects couldn’t be sweeter. Styling is happy, cheery and colorful, although we did find the arrangement of the ingredients a bit strange and too symmetrical. We definitely could see this concept (real people shot by a competent photographer with some kind of professional art direction or styling) as something businesses ought to be thinking about for marketing and social media efforts moving forward. In this increasingly visual world, everyone should be thinking about upping their imagery game. Better visual assets help elevate marketing messages from the mundane to the memorable. Simple, no? Now, time for dinner…
