The Top 5 Tips for Food Photography

Tip #1: Choose Fresh Food- You don't want an old, unappetizing look for your photos. Even when taking closeups, the flaws will begin to reveal themselves.

Tip #2: Correct Lighting- Without the correct lighting setup, your food will tend to look boring. Also, alot of times light tends to make the food look a bit fresh.

Tip #3- Include Raw Ingredients: Including raw ingredients not only makes the food look appealing, it makes it stand out more. Also, adding silverware can add that effect too.

Tip #4- Add Before & After Photos: Now depending on what type of food your photographing, you can add before and after pics for an instructional blog piece or magazine article.

Tip #5- Keep The Plate Clean: Keeping the plate (or whatever you are using) clean makes for a clean picture. Without this element, plates would come off very unappetizing and the reader would skip your blog.

Hopefully these tips will become helpful when photographing a plate of food.
