We love talking about food, we love eating food, and we <em>love <\/em>beautiful\u00a0photos of food. But\u00a0we don&#8217;t want to see someone else&#8217;s veggie dinner hastily thrown together on a weekday night; we want to be inspired and tantalized by amazing gourmet experiences. With just a few tricks, you can up your photography game to share edible moments in\u00a0a way that\u2019s artistic, appealing, informative, and inspiring. \u00a0Whether it&#8217;s for Instagram, HappyCow, or another online platform, here are our <strong>five top tips<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Find The Best Natural Light<\/h3>\n<p>The number-one most important aspect of photography is lighting. \u00a0Obvious as this may seem, it can be a bit of a challenge to snag that clearly diffused natural luster, especially when at a restaurant or cafe. \u00a0It\u2019s particularly important to pay attention to this when shooting on a phone, but it\u2019s still key regardless of how fancy your camera\u00a0is. \u00a0Light is crucial\u00a0because it effects the colour of the food, the way the shapes, shadows, and highlights appear, and the spectrum of the background or setting. You\u2019re after <em>diffused natural light<\/em>: anything that isn\u2019t artificial indoor light (which tints food orange) or glaring sunshine (which casts harsh shadows). A\u00a0table near a window is usually\u00a0perfect for this, or going\u00a0outside with some shade from the clouds or a veranda. If shooting next to a window, it\u2019s best to position your setting so that the light comes from the side or slightly behind the food. If your table at a restaurant isn\u2019t near a window, don\u2019t be afraid to ask if you can take photos at a different table or even outside &#8211; usually staff are delighted that you\u2019re\u00a0excited about the food!<\/p>\n<p>Clear light from the side gives brightness and detail to this photo by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/themintyanne\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@themintyanne<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BS7IrC5FeiH\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>2. Compose<\/h3>\n<p>Even with gorgeous lighting, a plate or setting of food may often look beautiful in person, but still require some styling to translate that into a photograph. This is because we tend to absorb what we\u2019re viewing within the totality of our experience &#8211; the ambiance of the restaurant, the smell of the food, the details on the plates of the other people we\u2019re with. Fitting this into the lens of a camera can be a challenge. Because it will never include all the aspects that are attractive in real life, we have to make that which does appear all the more appealing. Most important is finding the right angle. If you\u2019re with friends and have a table full of a lot of different dishes, capturing an overhead, \u201cflat lay\u201d style shot is usually the best way to include it all. If you\u2019re in a beautiful location with a pleasing backdrop, shooting at somewhere close to 90 degrees will help incorporate more context into the photo. If the food is minimal, such as with gourmet food centred on a large plate, try getting close-up to focus on the details as much as possible. Interest can always be added with items such as napkins, utensils, flowers, or even hands!<\/p>\n<p>This beautiful cake portrait by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/caiirose\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@caiirose<\/a>\u00a0shows how an interesting composition can bring to life a simple plate of food:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BTwTLpmjfqM\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Overheads like this one by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elsas_wholesomelife\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@elsas_wholesomelife<\/a> capture an entire table setting with vibrancy and appeal:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BVHkH0xB99t\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>3. Use Depth of Field<\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve got some good lighting and a bit of a set-up for your photo, try playing with &#8220;depth of field.&#8221;\u00a0This simply refers to the depth, or amount, of a photo that is in focus. By focusing on the food, the background can be allowed to blur, turning an otherwise boring or distracting setting into hazy colours, shapes, and lights. Doing this can prevent the background imagery from distracting from the subject of focus (the food!), and really create a professional looking photo.<\/p>\n<p>This photo\u00a0by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ghanim92\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@ghanim92<\/a>\u00a0(for\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/evergreen_organics\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@evergreen_organics<\/a>) has great depth of field:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BTdzTfPFKvG\/embed\/\" width=\"550\" height=\"638\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>4. Enjoy It<\/h3>\n<p>Playing with food\u00a0to make it visually appealing should be fun! \u00a0It can take lots of trial and error to reach an outcome on camera that matches the reality in real life though, so have patience and always enjoy it.\u00a0It&#8217;s really\u00a0important to also know when to put the camera away and focus on being with your friends, family, and the beauty at hand, so that capturing the moment doesn\u2019t get in the way of\u00a0what matters. \u00a0As well, some situations are simply incredibly difficult to shoot photos in, such as inside dimply lit venues, at night, or if the food is all in a brown or orange tone range; so\u00a0sometimes it&#8217;s okay to save the snapping for next time.<\/p>\n<p>This playful signature shot by\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/veganfatkid\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@veganfatkid<\/a>\u00a0is colourful, close-up, and bright:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BUTBdcrFqoa\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This overhead donut shot by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vegetaryn\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@vegetaryn<\/a> immediately draws you in:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/BShmXPGh2_J\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>5.\u00a0Edit<\/h3>\n<p>Editing can sound daunting, but it doesn\u2019t need to be! Regardless of whether you\u2019re shooting on a camera or from your phone, there are tons of different options to easily enhance your photos. You can edit on a computer in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop-lightroom.html\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Lightroom<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop.html\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Photoshop<\/a>, but phone apps such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vsco.co\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">VSCO,<\/a>\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/afterlight.us\/\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Afterlight,<\/a> or even<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\"  rel=\"external nofollow\"> Instagram<\/a> also do the trick. When aligning and cropping, keep in mind that vertical photos are often more shareable and visible on social media, simply because of the shape of a phone screen. Be sure to remove any \u201cburnt\u201d (overly exposed) areas but taking down the highlights or whiteness, then tweak the over-all exposure to make sure the entire photo is bright enough. Add some vibrancy or a colour filter to boost the tones, and make sure that it&#8217;s clear and sharp. Compare your polished photo to its former original; you\u2019ve taken it next level!<\/p>\n<p>A bit of classy brightness, contrast and colour boost enhances this gorgeous photo by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thrivingonplants\/?hl=en\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">@thrivingonplants &#8211;<\/a> AND it&#8217;s a great\u00a0example of composition and depth-of-field!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/instagram.com\/p\/B557KK2HXRJ\/embed\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"580\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We love seeing the photos you capture and the delicious things you eat! \u00a0We feature photos from our worldwide community every day\u00a0on\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/happycowguide\"  rel=\"external nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>.
