Hungry Photography (Food Photography How-To)

August 16, 2023 by Mike Vrobel Leave a Comment

Hungry Photography, or how to take pictures people want to eat.

I was a photo hobbyist before I became a food blogger. So, when I started my blog, I thought the pictures would be easy.

Below on the left is a picture from my first post in 2008. Not very appetizing.

On the right is a more recent photo.

...How It's Going

How do we get from there to here? I’ve got seven things you should focus on.

(Get it? Focus?. Ahem. Sorry.)
