10 tips for photographing food

1 Lighting
Make sure to use natural light when photographing food.

2 Props
Try to use things common on a table such as a plate or a glass with the food.

3 Be quick
Food doesn't stay the same for long so make sure you photograph it quickly.

4 Style it
Pay attention to the balance of colors and shapes in the food.

5 Enhance it
Things like vegetable oil will help make the food glisten

6 Get down low
Getting close and low to the food definitely shows the detail in it.

7 Macro
The Macro setting on your camera will focus on the food that is close up.

8 Steam
Having steam rise from the food gives it a fresher appearance.

9 Try different angles
Every photo does not need to be directly in front but can be above the food

10 Have a shallow depth of field
Focus on the closest parts of the food and have the furthest parts fade away.

Ben Heine

This week my project was in the style of Ben Heine, Ben will draw a picture, tear up the edges and then place it in front of an object to completely change it. The top photograph is a picture from a magazine of a tennis player that has been changed to the tennis player riding a scooter with a helmet hanging on the handle.  The bottom photograph is of an actual hand covering the minute hand of a clock, unfortunately I made the hand too large for the clock
