<strong>#1 Make sure you have enough light</strong> When eating out, especially during the daytime, try and score yourself a window seat. Shooting images in natural daylight always makes your food snaps look much better. Food looks fresher and colours become more vivid. That brunch snap you just posted just became way more appetising!

Turn the plate and snap away.

Shooting with a high resolution camera can really make a difference.

Try shooting in portrait to allow more generous room for those food and cocktail pics to shine.
