Composing a Food Photograph

A quick beginners guide to composing a good food photograph, and the thought process behind it

Composing a Food Photograph

This post is about food, but more about food photography. All beginner food bloggers find out one way or the other that good food photography and composition are key to a successful food blog. So when War and Cheese asked me to outline my process for taking a food photograph and building my composition, I jumped at the opportunity.

I’m just going to leave you here with a bunch of pictures that I kept shooting while composing my Badass Lamb Meatball Burger which is pretty badass so if you haven’t checked it out yet, now is the time!

That’s a gist of what happened, but let’s get inside my head now. That’s me talking to myself while composing this picture!
