For better photos, pretend your dessert is a model

 

Local Guides, we’d like you to meet the super-talented Sharon Heinrich. She’s a culinary tour guide in Paris, where she’s lived for the last seven years. If you check out her Instagram, @parischezsharon, you’ll see that her gorgeous photos of the city’s most fantastically flaky pastries have attracted more than 117,000 followers.

 

There are people who come to Paris for the art, the architecture, and the museums,” says Sharon. “For me, the pastries and the chocolate bonbons are diamonds and the pastry shops are the museums.”

 

On July 19, Sharon will meet up with Local Guides to taste and take photos of some wonderful desserts at Paris’s Colorova Patisserie. To watch live, be sure to like us on Facebook.

 

See four of Sharon’s best tips below, and keep sharing your own great food photos on social media with #LocalGuides.

Have fun with styling. Try to have an interesting background—it can change the whole picture. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)Have fun with styling.

Play with color and texture. Try to match the colors and textures of desserts with the background. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)Play with color and texture.

Go outside. Take the dessert outside the shop, to a beautiful garden or street corner, and pretend it’s a model. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)Go outside.

Add personality. Consider showing hands in the picture—it gives a feeling of movement and reality. Photo and tip by Paris chez Sharon (@parischezsharon)Add personality.
