Here is the mini guide on my experience being creative with a few tools at hand that you don’t know when you find yourself like fast food and you have to photograph food.
Let’s start as you already know a good source of light as the window is perfect,
or the white light of the chandeliers, and and the 45 degree in-line framing of your gaze towards the plate is good, or from the top perfect for surrounding a food in a circular dish or more or more things.
1 HOW TO GIVE HIGHT TO THE PANCAKE WITH 3 SUGAR BAGS
1 Here very thin pancake!
2 You then look for 3 bags of sugar in the coffee, and put them in the middle.
3 So that you then place the second pancake to form the dome .
4 The photo suggests breakfast with final pancake with a beautiful dome and use the syrup it
is also a way to create the shiny and inviting surface, leave the syrup box next to it indicating that it is served separately and the cappuccino cup next to it.
2 -PUT THE HAT TO THE DRINKS SERVED IN A GLASS
To show the content in fast food drinks here are some door decorations
with the lid suspend it in half use as a support the wooden stick (photo 1 glass with coffee) if it is a coffee put the sugar bags nearby it helps the context, or stops with a straw if it is a drink (photo 3 glass of Hawaiian punch).
If it is a drink in a transparent bottle it is more inviting if you pour its contents into the glass and leave the bottle empty or close to half, take care to take pictures from above to show its contents in the glass and put napkins underneath to create an effect pleasant graphic, play different staging (photo 2 glass of orange juice with bottle)
The ice element that creates volume and light effects for liquid elements, try to get as close as possible so as to take the detail look for a lamp in the room that created a light effect on the ice as in the photo (photo 4 glass of Hawaiian punch with ice )
2 BE CREATIVE USING HANDS ONLY
Here some creative examples how to recreate the invitation EAT ME NOW
open the box and place the chips in one side and meat burger with
the racy cheese image is cleaner if you open it a little with your hands
gently to highlight the levels tilt a bit like in the photo 1
Bite the chicken sandwiches to highlight their white meat
better its contents and even here they tilt into its box,
you can change the composition with only sandwich as photo 4
or place a chip behind and use the bag to create the composition
effect photo 2
If the box is missing, invent!
you can use the card itself that wraps it up even behind it
so as to create a backdrop and lay the sandwich in the middle,
take the bag of chips and take out some as photo 3.
