Colorful foods tend to look the best. Potatoes will look boring with yellow bell pepper, but red bell peppers look much better. There are also blue potatoes, purple cauliflower and other colorful things you can add. Spraying vegetables with a mist of water can make them look more appealing.

Professional food photographers have special stylists for setting up their food and they test out their setup with a "dummy". You're not a pro so you don't have to bother with such things, but if you shoot something like a parfait, plan in advance before bringing out the food.

Spicing it Up

If possible, try taking photos of the food served in different ways. For example, first take a photo of the whole pie, then another shot with a slice cut off, and a third picture of a single slice. Cookies can be placed in a pile, in a bowl – or take a photo of one cookie which has been bitten. If the food has a filling, cut or tear off a piece to show it off.
