Food photography is not as easy as putting food on a plate and snapping a few pictures, many times food photography comes down to having the correct lighting and having a good food stylist. Food photography can be a time consuming process and often you run into the problem of shooting cool or cold food yet still having to make it look hot and appetizing. Finding the angle to shoot each different plate of food can play a huge part in how the food looks and wither it is appealing to the viewer. When shooting food it is important to know what the shot will be used for if the shot is to be used in a magazine ad then you would want to leave more room for a graphic artist to add text without having to put type over the top of the food. If the shot is strictly being used for a picture of the food as in being a picture on a menu then you might be able to crop in a little tighter on the food making it more of a close up shot. When shooting food taking the simplest approach is often the best approach when it comes to shooting food. I think it is also nice to use depth of field either bringing the entire plate into view or choosing a focal point and allowing the rest of the plate of background go out of focus.
