Kyle Dreier, 45, has a taste for visual simplicity. “I’ve always liked ideas that are strong enough to stand on their own, without requiring a specific environment or much ancillary propping,” says the Nashville-based professional food photographer.Before opening his own studio three years ago, he worked as art director for American Way magazine, and his sense of graphic design shapes his photographic style today. His penchant for engineering his subjects plays into all of his work now, but most of all in his personal project, “Pairings.”
