Lets Get The Frames A Fresh Look

Cant see to drum up the likes on Instagram? These simple tips are going to make your food pictures drool worthy.

Light Right, Baby

Lightening is the most important aspect of photography if you can help it, take your pictures in good natural light during the day, make sure the room has enough sunlight streaming in, or place your plates and dishes on a window sill. If you’re at a restaurant, make sure you’re seated in a well lit area, and place your plate under bright yet warm lights. Getting the light will take you half way to pro level, if not all the way!

Dont Get High

While shooting from a height may get everything into the frame, it will make the picture look flat and lifeless. You want your shots looking vibrant and appealing. So click at a lower angle and remember to frame your picture well so that the focus is on the food and not the stain on the table cloth.

Up Close And Personal

When it comes to food photography, the closer you get, the better. Get your phone/camera as close to the dish as possible and shoot in macro mode. This will not only capture the details of what’s on your plate, but will also make the food look even more appetising. Make sure you focus well and have a steady hand. Remember to tap gently on the screen as well to avoid blurred images.

Spoon To The Rescue

While photographing soups and gravies that contain vegetables and wontons, avoid capturing only the liquid portion, especially when photographing directly from pots and pans. This way you can’t really tell what is in the dish and your pictures will turn out boring and misleading. All you need
