5 helpful photo tips from Connect Live Hyderabad

Food explorers, Neidhi and Ashis (@fooddrifter), are living out their passions: eating, traveling, and taking photos to share with the world. They chronicle their global journey to find unique cuisines and exotic locales in their blog.

We were lucky to have this duo join us for Connect Live Hyderabad where they shared some great photo tips.

1. Focus: Your camera’s auto focus doesn’t always focus exactly where you may want it to. It’s always good to manually focus before snapping your photo.

2. Natural Lighting: Work with natural light wherever possible. Do a quick check for shadows before you click.


3. Composition: Apply the rule of thirds, which says to imagine your photo frame divided into thirds both vertically and horizontally. Place the focus of your photo at the intersection of these lines to maximize the impact. Look for ways to incorporate symmetry, texture, color, and angles.


4. Plating and props: The right plating and props around the subject make it so much better. Don’t be afraid to include the utensils, serving dishes, and decor to show off the atmosphere in addition to the food.


5. Editing: Editing your photos doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process. Use Google Photos or other third party apps to make simple edits on your smartphone with one click of a button.

Thanks so much @cbos-NYC for this post!

Very useful tips, and perhaps the most important is missing: don’t be in a hurry to eat right away, then you get remorse for not having taken the picture before (as I often do!)

Bon appétit a touts!
