Tips for Photographing Food


An account manager at the marketing agency VOCO Creative in Denver, Colorado, Heidi Jewell serves as a liaison between clients and team members as she drives performance based on client needs. Formerly based in Nashville, Heidi Jewell is also a photographer of food, fashion, architecture, interior design, and more.

With the advent of smartphones and Instagram, photographing food has become a daily ritual for many. However, there are ways to make food photos really pop, according to BBC Good Food. First, try to avoid using flash, as the light will flatten the dish and eliminate natural shadows that add to the composition. It is a good idea to use a tripod in order to avoid the blurriness that comes from shaky hands.

When composing the shot, carefully select props that will contribute to the photo--everything should be thoughtfully placed. Be sure to try different angles and determine which is the best and if you feel like the composition isn’t working, it’s a good time to rearrange or start over. Finally, don’t let the food sit around too long and don’t be afraid to add misty bursts of water to give food a more vibrant appearance.
