Choosing the right camera angle might be straightforward for many of us, but is it really that straightforward?

How do you decide what angle works best for your food?

And once you take the shot, how do you know that you’ve photographed the food in its most photogenic angle? 

Have you seen photos where the cup is more visible than the coffee inside or the edge of a plate is seen more rather than the pizza on it or the bowl shows more than the steaming soup inside? 

You find yourself leaning into your screen, just wishing to see more of that frothy coffee, the tasty pizza toppings and the fragrant soup. 

How do we choose an angle that fits the subject versus leaving the audience either longing to see more of it or wondering what it is. 

Well, finding the right camera angle and photographing food in it’s best angle takes more than just setting up the camera on a tripod and clicking the trigger. It takes observation, study and practice.  

Camera angles can really make or break a photo, which is why, I’m sharing how to choose the right and the best camera angle for your food. 

This episode explains the 3 main camera angles, how they translate to food and how to decide which angle works best. 

I also talk about practices that can help make both technical and creative decisions for a photoshoot. 

And how the process of working with camera angles can hone your skills such that you are able to visualize the food in different angles even before it goes in front of the camera..  Yep, I share that too.

As food photographers, we can show the viewer exactly what they need to see, and how they need to see it. We have control over this, all by choosing the right camera angle. 

Imagine sitting in a client meeting, being able to tell which angle will work for the shoot, on the spot. Who wouldn’t want to be able to do that?
