Smoothy Slim

Just like white bowls, white plates are a must for any food photographer. Similar to white bowls, look for smooth plates with a matte finish and no rim (if you can find them). Glossy plates will reflect light and are harder to photograph. I find it easier to style food on a dessert plate rather than a dinner plate.

I’ve been photographing and styling food for almost seven years and I’m proud to say I’m completely self-taught. Everything I know I’ve learned by doing. I’m grateful Rachel is letting me pop over here to Two Loves Studios blog and share pieces of what I’ve learned along the way. Despite having cabinets stuffed to the brim with all sorts of props, there are certain items that I reach for over and over, aka essential food photography props! By choosing essential food photography props that work in a variety of situations you can save money, space and also be more efficient while you work. The trick to picking out glassware that will photograph well is looking for thin walls. Delicate glassware looks much better in photos as you don’t get any discolouration or distortion of the food. This doesn’t mean it has to be expensive! I bought my glasses at Daiso, which is a Japanese discount store. Glasses were only a couple of dollars each.

Learn More »A great way to add interest when you’re styling food is to add layers. I aim for 5 to 7 layers in my photos. No one has ever accused me of being a minimalist! Typically this involves a combination of the following – a shooting surface, a piece of wood or platter, a tea towel, the dish holding the food, a utensil, the food itself and garnish. Cutting boards and rustic pieces of wood are an easy way to add a layer. The old wooden cutting board you see in these photos was $5 in a forgotten corner of an antique shop. Etsy is another great place to find something with character. The more beat up the better. Look for wood that doesn’t have yellow undertones as this is more flattering for food photography.
