What I have learned most about food photography is that the pictures I gravitate to the most are the ones that contain layers, texture, and dimension. The layers of props give the photo strong visual interest, yet don’t take away from the main subject- the star of the photo- the food! I started my food photography journey with a white foam core and some bowls of yogurt, and quickly learned, that there needs to be more added into it to create an eye catching, mouthwatering photo. There are so many props you probably have laying around your house already, and a few you should definitely add to your prop closet! Here’s a list to get you started! 

I don’t know if you heard about it, but there was a fun week-long virtual summit all on food photography, graciously put together by Jena Carlin of The Little Rusted Ladle. It just wrapped yesterday, and included a VIP pass, still available to purchase, along with 30 interviews of professionals in our beloved field of food photography. It included interviews on topics such as Visual Storytelling with Aimee Twigger to SEO for mastery for photography by Casey Markee. It was packed with valuable insight and I couldn’t stop watching!!!
