How to take photos?
We’ll teach you how to take professional photos
of your dishes in 7 simple steps.
1. Prepare the dish
- Clean the plate and the plate’s rim
- Make sure the table is clean
- Remove distracting objects (dirty napkins, empty bottles, cables, etc.)
2. Set up your phone
Use your phone’s rear camera
Make sure the lens is clean
In Camera Settings:
If you have the option, set it to RAW format
Turn on Grid and Level
3. Use good
lighting
- Place the dish near a window
- Avoid yellow ceiling light
- Don’t use direct flash (only if there’s no other option)
- If there’s little light, use two side lamps to light it
