Tips on Taking Pictures of Food

I thought share my tips on taking pictures of food. And by no means am I an expert on taking pictures of food. These are just some pointers that I came up with, and also from my friends.

Lighting and Flash Lighting is the number one factor in producing great pictures. Without lighting or decent lighting, you can’t get the right shot. Without enough lighting, your shots won’t come out either. Too much lighting or flash will whiten the image and make it unusable as well. In fact, flash shouldn’t be used at all.

Restaurants and food Back to flash photography. I suggest that you don’t take pictures with flash in restaurants. Flash can draw unwanted attention and can ruin the ambiance. Though I am not a restaurant owner, but I would venture to say that restaurants like people who take pictures of food. They understand that power of pictures and the online word of mouth.
