Photo tipps food photography

Eating is a visual pleasure too, and if the food is already beautifully prepared, you can photograph it right away. We have collected several video tutorials with the best tips for great food photos.

Using daylight and existing objects

Place the object on a stool, the background is an old suitcase, the daylight comes from the side through the window. Then (optionally) something else that can be used as a reflector and nothing stands in the way of a stylish photo of the homemade burger. Tip: Vintage items from the flea market automatically facilitate the picture design.

Simple and effective

It doesn't always have to be the big cutlery. A tripod, a camera and the exposure corrected upwards as needed are enough ingredients for a simple and effective food photo. A tip that often applies: get up close and personal, this will enhance the image.

For the technicians

But even in this example, homemade tools are used, and the tips can also be used if you photograph without flash. Tip: Take your time. Food photos are rarely taken en passant. In this respect, sushi, as can be seen in the example, is certainly a thankful motif. It doesn't get any colder.
