As an avid Instagram user and food-loving friend myself, I have discovered a couple tips to keep in mind while photographing food for Instagram. Here they are:
1. Whenever possible, use natural light instead of flash
- Harsh light – i.e., that obnoxious flash on your iPhone – tends to do bad things to food
2. Don’t go too crazy with effects
- Beautiful food, like portraits, should be treated delicately
3. Always be ready
- Ever see the sudden blaze of fire at a Hibachi grill?
4. Remember it’s just food
- Don’t make your friends wait until their food gets cold to eat because you need “the perfect shot”
