I’m a horrible food photographer

You know I tried to google and find out what it takes to have better photos of your food. Well, for those of you know who knew me, I was never an iPhone guy and well during those days Android was notorious for having horrendous cameras on their phones. As you scroll through my pictures you will see what I am talking about. Blurry, low light and probably the worst possible angle you could ever take a photo.

Sometimes you need to get extra help so you can take great photos. Knowing me, I’ll go an entire lifetime before I get that extra help, stubbornness is a trait that I am working on. Now that 2020 has put a big pause button on the entire world, I have decided that when I come out of this quarantine I want to have some a new set skills that I can be proud of and taking pictures and writing better reviews is one of them.

Rules for Better Food Photography

• Photos with Natural Light

• Don’t settle until you get the best light

• Location. Location. Location

• Organize your clutter

These are the main rules for any great photograph. This applies in real life photography as well. The rest of the things I googled about great food photography was to buy expensive cameras, lenses and lighting equipment. Ain’t nobody got time for that! When you have to run and gun, you can’t be dragging equipment with you wherever you go, so you just have to make sure you have the best possible outcome with the circumstances you are in. I hope I read back on this blog in a year and I can share with you some fantastic photos of all the food my friends bring me to eat! Here are few more horrible food photos of mine.
