About Her.
Beth Galton’s photography is her only identity among her peers in the advertising agency of the United States.

Beth was always inclined towards a photographic representation of food on the table. It was a peculiar attitude when she had started but today, she is the milestone for success for various established photographers. She has kick-started TV cooking to what it is today. For her, food is a piece of beauty and half her life was spent in making people believe in what she does through her photographs.
