Photography Tips

 Since I am only allowed to use original photos taken by me, I decided to look up the do's and dont's of food photography. Turns out, it's not as easy as it looks. In fact, in order to capture a great image, there is many tips the photographer should follow. Lighting is extremely important. Use natural lighting at all costs, preferably near a window. This lighting is much less harsh on the food than using flash from a camera; artificial lighting calls for unappetizing shots. If the natural lighting is so bright, tone it down by covering the window with a white sheet or white tablecloth. Use a backdrop behind the food, and under the food, to avoid distractions or other lighting that can interfere with the photo. White and black cardboard boards are common, as well as wooden cutting boards. A still image is also a necessity. Set up the camera on a tripod, table, or chair, but not moving is essential to avoiding a blurry image. 

Those are some of the most important tips I gathered on the internet, as well as  from accumulating the information from images I searched on Pinterest.
