How to bring life into food projects.

Inject humour into your shots.
Food is fun, and playful characters or quirky setups add personality and charm to your styling.

Incorporate colour, texture and depth.
Guide the viewer’s eye through the composition, creating a visually engaging and dynamic scene.

Introduce motion.
Evoke the liveliness of cooking and eating; capturing splashes, drizzles or the act of serving makes your images feel vibrant and interactive.

Produce a shot that conveys exceptional sound
Capture the sounds of the food as clearly as its visuals. Ensure the sizzles, snaps, water droplets, weighty plates, bites, and crunches are distinctly audible through the camera lens.

A final tip

Unsure what to capture? Start by focusing on a familiar dish.
Comfort food that’s a beloved family favourite. These kinds of foods, which resonate deeply with many people, have a unique power to spark an emotional connection with your audience, making your content more engaging and relatable.
