We are always looking for ways to effectively deliver our messaging to our customers and the community at large.  Thanks to social media we can all play a role in telling the real school nutrition story and showing examples of the attractive and nutritious food we serve our students every day. Because most of us aren’t professional photographers though, we may find that our photos don’t always do the food justice.  If you’d like to learn how to better use photography to showcase your food this is the episode for you. Our guest today is Mica McCook, an editorial food and culture photographer and a co-host of the F-Stop Podcast.  

This episode we discuss:

How to select a qualified photographer for hire 

The benefit of discussing expectations 1:1 instead of by email 

Key elements of photography 

How to capture great images on social media using just your phone
