6 Instagram Food photography tips

Last Updated :

Who doesn't know about Instagram? Instagram needs no introduction, still if you do not know, please read on. Instagram is a simple and easy to use application specifically designed for mobile phones. The Instagram application allows you to take a photo, add an effect, and share your photo instantly on Instagram or any other social network like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare and Tumblr. Instagram is becoming popular day-by-day. There are over 150 million active users per month sharing photos every minute and every second. People just share almost anything and everything. The truth is, only half of them are worth looking at. Some are underexposed, some are over exposed and others just don't appeal. Specially if you are sharing photographs of your meal(s). It has to look delicious and tempting. If you are amongst who click a lot of food pictures using the Instagram app, please read the tips below to improve your Instagram food photography. 1. Don't just photograph everything you eat or whatever you eat. Be selective and snap the ones that can really make someone drool. Use it like a camera and not your daily journal. Sharing each and everything you do, you eat or you see can annoy your friends and followers. 2. Many professional photographers are against Instagram, for the fact that it makes your photo look dull and at times under-exposed. You can try not to apply any filter or effect to your pictures. Just let them be as natural as you can. 3. When you photograph food via Instagram, try taking the overhead shots. Specially when you are in a restaurant, an overhead shot will help you capture details of your meal and it will also work even if the restaurant is not properly lit-up. 4. Follow some food photographers on Instagram and see how do they capture food and other things. Learn from them . 5. Practice makes a man perfect. But that doesn't mean you keep clicking everything you eat or see. Capture them for your reference and learning experience only. See which setting or filter works better with what kind of foods. 6. Use wisely. There are some restaurants where photography is prohibited, so use Instagram and your mobile phone camera cautiously. Do not disturb others and do not annoy anyone.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
