Food Photography Tips: How To Take The Perfect Food Pic With Your Phone

7. Zoom Zoom

Use the zoom feature of your phone to your advantage. Close up shots of food, especially those that are gooey and decadent like chocolate, cheese, etc. can look great. But when it comes to closeup pictures, there’s a risk of overdoing it so that you’re not even able to tell what the food actually is, so use the zoom wisely.

8. Theme It

It makes for a great food photo if the props used actually fit into the theme of the food. This could be in terms of similar tones, so you could use the same colored cutlery. Otherwise you could theme it according to the cuisine of the dish you’re capturing.

A bowl of Chinese noodles could be complemented with chopsticks instead of a spoon or fork, and maybe a little Chinese figurine in the background? Get creative with it and have fun! You can get a lot of interesting bits and bobs at thrift stores and bargain shops.
