  1. Food Photography By Kaitlyn Parvin

  2. Tips For a Good Photo • You will get a better shot by shooting from down close to plate level instead of straight down on the food. • One of the best places to photograph food is by a window where there is plenty of natural light. The key to a good food photo is the lighting. • Good props add to an enhancing photo. An overcrowded photo is not good however. Just adding a nice plate, fork or maybe a glass makes the picture seem like a table setting.

  3. Some photographers like to have steam in their photos, though a good shot is hard sometimes. One stylist added steam by microwaving water soaked cotton balls and placing them behind food • Another thing that is important is the balance of food in a shot: things like color and shapes ect….Also, when you use techniques like rule of thirds and leading lines, you get a more appealing picture. • Be quick: food doesn’t last forever so its best to take the shot while the food is ready. Some photographers set up their props before the food is ready and practice without it so that when the food is ready, they can just “pop it into the picture”. Also, olive oil makes your food shinny right before a picture, so sometimes photographers do that.

  5. In Michael Ray’s opinion, the most important thing about a photo is the lighting. In most of Michael Ray’s photos, he uses selective focus to capture certain aspectsof the food.

  6. Packaging is the work done for the boxes of cereals, frozen foods and cake mixes. • Advertising is a team effort made up of the art director, food stylist, prop stylist, marketing director, client and photographer. The camera is stationary while the food and props move around.

  7. An example of a good camera to use is the Arca Swiss 6x9 view camera with a DCS Pro Back that captures a 48 meg tiff file. This camera has all of the advantages of a view camera but with the benefits of digital capture.
