At Photojojo: Ten Tastiest Food Photography Tips


Ha! This is kind of basic for the professional, but the tips are good and solid for anyone wanting to try their hand at food shooting. Enjoy... I gotta get lunch.
Photojojo » The Ten Tastiest Food Photography Tips: "We’ve all heard the rumors about the terrible things food photographers do to make food look good. Horror stories about food stylists with their cans of shoe polish, burnishing raw turkeys to make them look roasted. Scoops of mashed potatoes glistening atop ice cream cones, covered in chocolatey-looking motor oil.

Fortunately, few of us know how to accomplish styling atrocities of that ilk. We’re just ordinary Joes, trying to make restaurant food look as good as it smells, or capture the deliciousness of Aunt Sally’s fresh-baked biscuits. It takes a little doing to make food photogenic, but it’s easy once you know how."
