#1 Make sure you have enough light
When eating out, especially during the daytime, try and score yourself a window seat. Shooting images in natural daylight always makes your food snaps look much better. Food looks fresher and colours become more vivid. That brunch snap you just posted just became way more appetising!
In ultra-dark venues a tablet or phone with a white screen can be used to illuminate the food.
#2 Capturing the best side
Just like you have a best side, so does that deliciously stacked burger you’re about to feast on. Turn the plate and snap away.
#3 Time for resolution
When taking snaps of your favourite dishes you want to strike the right balance between those mouth-watering close-ups and a full view of the feast in front of you. Shooting with a high resolution camera can really make a difference.
#4 Formatting
With Instagram now introducing landscape and portrait options, consider your formatting. Try shooting in portrait to allow more generous room for those food and cocktail pics to shine.
#5 Everything is relative
Use common objects, like a fork or hand model to convey the scale of your food, especially a big delicious bowl of ramen.
