He's an extremely successful photographer who specializes in food. Antwerp's FotoMuseum held a retrospective of his work recently, which has resulted in a catalogue called Tony Le Duc: Food Photography Since 1985: http://www.amazon.com/Food-Photography-Johannes-van-Dam/dp/9020996266/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323487327&sr=8-1

I saw the catalogue a couple of days ago and was sufficiently impressed that I ordered one. The book is large format (13.5" x 9.5"), with good reproduction and 200 pages of his work.

There's a video on his web site that shows him setting up and making four photographs. Worth a look for those interested in still life: http://www.tonyleduc.eu/

He uses digital cameras now, but a significant part of the work in his book almost certainly would have been shot large format.

In 2004, Le Duc went from photographer to publisher. His publishing house has about 30 titles in its catalogue: http://minestrone.be/en/

I received the book today. There's an essay in it that deals with technical issues. Looks like he mostly shot 4x5 before digital took over.

Enjoyed the video, thanks. I photograph some foods, never thought of using tweezers to make small changes.
