8 tips to put the wow factor into food photography

Plate your food well and it can look like a meal in a Michelin five-star restaurant.

Food photography is becoming increasingly popular, especially with many people preparing their own meals at home and posting photos of their creations on social media (#MyStayHome) during the movement control order.

Don’t be afraid to get closer to your food. Unless you are showing an entire scene of dishes on a dining table, you’d want to focus on the food itself and not the surroundings. When you zoom in, take note of the textures and shapes and how they interrelate to each other to compose the perfect food picture. Do remember though that while you get closer, don’t zoom in too near until the photo is blurry.
