Project Lyly

Are you a food business owner D.I.Ying your photos?

Putting a lot of effort into it but your photos didn't turn out well?

I understand your struggles, I've been there. I also didn't know anything about taking good quality photos until I started taking photos for my aunt's business.

Presentation and making food palatable on mobile phones are quite important. Otherwise, how can we convince our customers that our food is delicious?

So here are some tips I could share with you. 👇

📷 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞. If you're doing your photoshoot observe where your light source is. It's also not recommended to take photos during high noon. The light's too harsh and bright.

📷 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬. Yes, even food has flattering angles. Some are best shot with top angles (ex. pizza). Some are best shot with side angles (ex. burger). And some are the best shot with a 45-degree angle (ex. drinks)

📷 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬. A loitering spoon or table napkin ruins can ruin the photo. Focus on the food but don't zoom too much to the point the food was unrecognizable.

And lastly, practice! Only with practice, we can gain new experiences. 😊
