Food photography tips for bloggers



Food PR and food photography have recently gained popularity.
It’s true when chefs say that we eat with our eyes first. The colors, textures and shapes are a crucial part of your culinary experience. Can you blame people for snapping a quick photo before they dive in?
Your photography should make the viewer pick the phone and order the food to fulfill the desire of delicious food.

There are a few simple rules to follow to get that perfect mouth-watering shot. 
Paying attention to light, composition, style and your camera’s settings will make your food photography worthy of a Michelin star.

1. Light and Sunlight
If sunlight is hitting your food right, it can make a huge difference in the total appearance of the dish from colours to shape to feel to what not.

Paying attention to light, composition, style and your camera’s settings will make your food photography worthy of a Michelin star.

A few rays of sunlight will transform your food photograph better than any Photoshop filter, but not all natural light is created equal.
Don’t be lured towards a bright patch of unshaded sunlight.

The sweet spot for natural lighting is an area of shade on a sunny day. Finding a shaded window sill, tree covering, or even propping an umbrella up over your food is going to give you that evenly lit, textured, and defined aesthetic that separates one food photograph from the next.


2. Flash
Unless it’s a stylistic choice, flash should never be used in food photography. 
Flash can also create the confusing illusion of “floating food.” This happens when flash bounces off a white plate, making the plate look indistinguishable from the table, and causing your food to look like its floating in mid-air.

3. Food Styling
Great food photography needs great food styling. Choose your best-looking plate, bowl, or serving dish.
Don’t be afraid to try unconventional options like wooden plates, marble cutting boards, or stone bowls and see how they work for your photographs. If you can't splurge on it goj can be a little more creative with how can you make your dish look tempting even in the simplest environment.

4. Equipments required

Try to invest in long  term equipments that serve you for a longer time rather then spending on bas quality products that affe t your skills. 
Invest in a good tripod for stable photos and to capture perfect shots.
You can also have some soft boxes or artificial lights if you are aiming towards a professional full-time career in this field.

Conclusion

At last, if you are a beginner or you just want to explore this side of content and creation, the first thing someone notices in your work is how well it is done , how well it is presented or put into action, what skills have you possessed and what is your true passion.

Your work should speak on your behalf and that's the main quality an experienced person looks for into you as a beginner.
