Whether for your own food blog, as an illustration for an individually created cookbook, for sharing in social networks such as Facebook, Twitter & Co. or simply as a reminder photo: the high art of food photography is a tricky affair.

Tip 1: Visually appealing goods

Especially if you want to document the cooking as a process or decorate the finished dish with fresh food, you should buy visually perfect goods, so your photos look particularly delicious. Fruit and vegetables should not have any pressure points and should be fresh and crisp so that the viewer would like to bite immediately.

Tip 2: kitchen equipment for more variety

What is clear is that your food is the central object in your pictures. But the always same plate on the always same background can become with the time for your audience very boring. As a passionate chef, over the years, giant kitchen gadgets and beautiful tableware gather.

Tip 4: Play with colours& shapes

Tip 5: Vegetables with bite

Vibrant colours such as green asparagus or broccoli have an effect on images of intense and rainy appetite. Therefore, you should not only buy your dishes fresh but also gently cook to maintain appearance and colour.

Tip 6: Give the meat the finish

The meat is appetizingly tanned and has reached the perfect cooking point, but the supplements still have to be draped? Then spread the meat with a little vegetable oil just before taking a picture so that it does not look dry and looks old. A nice steak knife next to the plate, cannot hurt.
