A Few Quick and Easy Tips for Better Food Photography

The following tips are for when you’re in a bit of a rush and you just want to bash out a quick, but good food photograph. They are not set in stone by any means and there are plenty of times when you should in fact ignore them. But if you don’t have too much time, following these few ideas will usually get you a better food photograph than you would have had otherwise.

1. Move the scene to take advantage of natural window lighting
2. Limit the depth of field with a wide aperture setting (f/1.8 – f/5.6) and focus near the front edge of the food
3. Either zoom right in on the food or arrange your background to give context
4. Look for contrasting coloured garnish and put it on the food (bright colours like green (chives), red (chilli) and white (parmesan) tend to work well
5. Keep the portions smallish so you have a definite center of interest in the photograph
6. Photograph the food while it is as fresh as possible (http://www.lightstalking.com/how-to-photograph-food/)
