Try these food photography tips: - Lighting: Your image will turn out better if you turn off the flash. Try using natural light from a window, taking the plate outside, or if it's evening, see if you can direct some lamplight onto the food.
- Setting: Use different plates, napkins, placemats to showcase your various creations.
- Create Interest: Look for unusual angles, such as the close-up of the rhubarb shown here.
- Tell the Story: Take some shots during the various stages of preparation.
- Timing: Expect your baking/cooking to take longer with the stops and starts to wash hands to pick up the camera, to "pose" the food and to set the camera safely away from hazards such as flour dust, grease splatters, cake batter, etc.
