It's a good idea to arrange the table nicely, because this is where the food is placed, but if it is done too, or be decorated, you fail, put the focus on the food.

Shooting Angle

The right angle in shooting the food is one of the important details you need to remember when shooting. Most of the time food photos are taken at 45 degrees below the plate. This angle is very ideal because it has the same angle of people when they see the food and eat.

This is what I do, shoot 45 degrees, but it is always better to explore more. You may also find other angles that are so good.

There are foods that are best taken on the side of the bowl. The staple foods are best photographed from the side to emphasize the amount of food, like pancakes dripping with syrup on the side. A sense of movement is achieved when you tilt the camera a little.

The best light is to use natural light when photographing food, the food near the window and use the natural light. If the light from the window to feel light, cover it with a cloth, or search for a different window that is not too bright.

You may need to leave a small amount of bounce light from the subject, so you do not end up with a silhouette image when all you have is the light from the side and back. better you can drape a white napkin on a glass or polystyrene. Place it between the subject and the camera, but from the context.

It is always best to use a tripod to capture the right angle and focus the camera on the main subject. It keeps the camera from shaking. Increase the ISO of the camera, if you do not have a tripod for you to be able to hold the camera securely.
