- Change angles and be creative with your camera.
- Tell a story.
- Create a website to display and promote your photographs.
- Add layering to create dimension, which showcases the food better, as well as makes sure the colors and textures are coordinated.
- Use a tripod to maintain steadiness and stillness.
- The composition is important when photographing food, but make sure there is a balance.
- To practice photographing food, you might want to go to a farmer’s market. Create a story with a series of snapshots about the vendors and the food that they sell.
- When laying out the food on a dish, along with other props, play with the food, which might involve breaking parts to better position them in an attractive and appetizing way.
- Pay attention to certain details for creating themes, such as certain cups, mugs, dishes, napkins, and other props that have certain colors and designs. Choose everything that you want to use with intention in order to create what you have in mind.
- Know everything about the food that you are currently working with, which might involve research, googling information, and buying it from a store.
- Add fresh leaves to a food dish for decoration. Consider citrus and mint leaves.
- Always experiment, explore, research, and think outside the box. A photographer is an artist, who always needs to stand out by doing things differently from other photographers as well as being creative.
