1. Top Down View
Think of this as the equivalent of fashion’s flat lay shoots. It’s a trick many foodies use, and with good reason. Many dishes look great from the top down.

4. Pepper With Props
Having some props like cutlery, a flower vase or even your accessories in the background can help amp up your photo’s lifestyle quotient. But avoid overcrowding the dish you are shooting – remember the motto that “less is more” in food photography.

5. Make Food Move
This applies mainly to videos but can also translate to photos too. The process of food in movement is very exciting in a picture – think of an oozing “liu sha bao”, dipping a potato fritter into sauce or pouring gravy over a dish. Be sure to capture the moment in these processes.
