BONUS PHOTO CHALLENGE | Try your hand at food styling and photography. Include your hands for one “prop”, and an action shot for fun!
If shooting fruit, use water or oil to create a sheen that makes it stand out in camera.
Use neutral props to make food texture and color pop.
Use a shallow depth of field (but not too shallow) to have a strong focal point.
Ensure that colors are accurate and your white balance is spot on.
Crumbs and garnish can really make a dish look elevated.

Food photographers have made the act of styling and creating the genre, an art of its own. One of the most consistent things I see from one food photographer to the next, is a strong brand and styling. There’s also
ANDREW SCRIVANI | It’s interesting to see a NYTimes food photographer on a more generic level than other food photographers I know. While his social media doesn’t tell a whole story, his individual images are interesting, even without consistency (which I imagine is largely due to his job).
AIMEE TWIGGER | A moody through line, almost always in the picture, and natural light make up Aimee’s styling and branding. She has a beautiful, classic, almost old-fashioned look to her work that is visually pleasing. Her food photography is 100% storytelling.
KELSEY SIEMENS | Kelsey is a younger, newer baker and cook in the industry. She’s coming out with her first cookbook in October. Like many, she started as a blogger, created a strong sense of style, and has since grown a good sized following by participating in the online community. You’ll also see that she shows her face from time to time, and I firmly believe that’s a necessary element in growing on social media.
