tips 1 : lighting is everything
it doesn't matter how beautiful the food you photographing , as with any subject , is if you don't have good light you have to let go of your ideas about what's good or bad about your space like where light falls first thing in the morning , were the bright patches are at midday , and wher the last rays disappear from in the evening . dno't feel limited by the kitchen for your food photographs , the coffee table might make for an interestnig surface , or the top of a bookshelf
one of the easiest way to add mor light is to grab a light colored pillowcase and use it to reflect some window light back onto your subject . put a neutral-colored bulb in a table lamp and mouv it around
Tips 2 : props are what you make of them
a drawer full of mismatched cutlery can provide interest and contrast . serving dishes in different sizes and colors can be the starting point for a variety of different looks. a large cast iron skillet or dutch even set on the table , still steaming , can give yor food photos a simple , timeless tone . from there you might need an artfully rumpled napkin or a tea towel on one side and a fork and spoon on the other to round out the scene
a single plate waiting next to a pie lifter holding the first trantalizing slice of apple pie can be bright and warm , conveying the anticipation of that first bite , nothing else needed and also expensive accoutrement food doesn't necessarily mean attractive all you need is a fresh food colorful and textured things
Tips 3 : make it a group project

photograph your friend and family members sharing the meal even if the images don't turn out magazine-worthy the first time , you'll have some beautiful photos of people you care about enjoying each other's company
