When Lena (@theghostonmyback) moved away from home in Bavaria, Germany, to study, she was determined to also move on from her "frozen pizza" approach to cooking. As she started to cook for herself, she found inspiration in food blogs and "calling mum nearly every day to get some advice." She also began to post photos of her eating exploits to Instagram, partly just to show her mum she wasn't starving. She soon discovered a flourishing community of food photographers to keep her passion nourished. "I was absolutely delighted and even more motivated to improve myself, try out new things and to find my own style," Lena explains. "I learned so many things, from new ingredients and dishes through to different ways of preparation—Instagram is a foodie's paradise." Lena's photos keep food as the focus and have a minimalist approach showcasing an impressive array of tableware and spoons. All her recipes are her own ideas. She looks to Instagram for inspiration and follows a range of Instagrammers from across the world. "I love their way of cooking, which spices and ingredients they use and how they take and edit their pictures. It's so inspiring! It seems like they love what they do. I'm not really into Instagrammers who talk about 'good' and 'bad' food (or worse: 'cheat meals') and follow rigorous diets, forgetting about what it really means to nourish your body (and soul). I want passion, not constraints."
