Howdy!
I'm Skyler! With over 15 years of traveling North America, Asia and the Middle East, I'm just a camera toting, old school explorer who loves real adventures as much as I love real food.

About We Eat Together
I wanted to start the blog, We Eat Together, because as a college educator in studio lighting and table-top photography I felt there was a serious lack of quality information on the web for the budding food photographer. There are a lot of “5 tips to better bla bla bla,” one time posts, but not a lot of dedicated sites.
For the business side of things you can find behind the scenes, industry news, marketing, talks on equipment, and a few reviews.
To fill your creative cup, we’ll give you styling tips, some prop talk, discuss composition and lighting. Hopefully enough to keep the left side of your brain happy.
Or if you just want to skip past all the photography stuff, we’ll post a lot of recipes and restaurant adventures for those home chefs too.
I REALLY HOPE, WE EAT TOGETHER, WILL BE AN INSPIRATIONAL PLACE FOR THE FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER, FOOD BLOGGER AND ALL THE FOODIES OUT THERE.
A LITTLE ABOUT SKYLER BURT...
Skyler Burt works as an editorial food and travel photographer and for over 10 years has been providing award-winning imagery to some of the worlds best publications and brands.
After studying under some of the greatest working photographers to date, he graduated with a B.A. in photojournalism from the then renowned Brooks Institute of Photography. During his studies, his interest in the world of editorial food and travel photography grew. He and his wife took internships for a magazine based out of Kathmandu, Nepal returning with images and an experience that would go on to inspire both, spending the next 10 years photographing assignments in over 15 different countries throughout North America, Asia and across the Middle East.
After extensive traveling, Skyler landed in the small middle eastern country of Oman where he took up an academic position as the Head of the Photography Department and lecturer in advanced studio lighting of tabletop and food photography. However, he continued to work closely with chefs, resorts, restaurants and advertisement agencies around the world.
Now based out of Los Angeles, his work has appeared in Southern Living, Sunset, Saisonküche Magazine, Time Out, Forbes Traveler, and The Ritz Carlton Magazine along with many other brands and publications.
