Jamie Oliver and and his collaborator, professional food photographer David Loftus have teamed up wth Nikon to bring you some top food photography tips. Take a look at our
Food Photography feature for more hints and tips form Jamie and David.
Speed
Shoot quickly, especially when dealing with heat.
Capture
Shoot often, and capture the mess. Cooking is messy!
Lighting
Embrace natural, ambient light to show off fresh ingredients.
Macro
Use macro settings to capture stunning close ups.
Backgrounds
Use neutral backgrounds to bring out textures in the food.
Story
Set the scene to tell a story and don’t be afraid to get your hands involved.
Creative
Take action shots using slow shutter speeds to portray energy.
Colour
Use colourful ingredients and off-white plates to serve up.
Angle
Find an interesting angle, even if it means shooting from a height or leaning inside a cooking pot.
View
Adopt the point of view of the creator. The same applies before eating!
