Tips On Choosing A Professional Food Photographer
We are visual creatures before tasting with our
mouth, we taste with our eyes. The more alluring
a dish looks in an image, the more tempted we
will be to order it. And it is the job of a
professional food photographer to turn even
something as mundane as a bowl of milk and
cornflakes into something that looks as tempting
as food for gods! So, if you are in the food
industry business, it is particularly important
that you hire a good food photographer as the
first investment of your business. A good
professional photographer in this field will not
be cheap, but it is an investment worth every
penny you spend. But how do you find a good one?
Here are some tips to help you out.

Experience Like any profession, experience
counts very much in this field. And by
experience, it doesnt mean experience as a
photographer, but experience in this particular
field. That is because food photography is not
like other fields. The models of the shoot are
firstly immovable, you cant ask them to pose!
Then, pictures have to be taken within a fraction
of a second to capture certain aspects of the
food. Hence, the more experienced the
photographer is in this field, the better it is
for you. Portfolio The portfolio of a
photographer is the most important thing. So,
before you hire someone dont forget to go
through their portfolio. Most photographers in
this field will have a style unique to them and
you have to see through various assignments he
has done to notice that. If that fits into what
you are looking for, go ahead and start talking
with him or her. Otherwise, start looking at
another portfolio.

Ask for a recommendation Working with a
photographer is not an easy job and if you are
not comfortable, it will ruin your food
photoshoot. So, when you have selected a list of
photographers, dont forget to ask for a
recommendation. Or you can ask recommendation
from someone whose food images you especially
love. Personal reviews are important and choose
only those whose working style gels with
yours. Dont forget to interview them Once
you have a shortlist of food photographers, dont
forget to interview them (apart from looking at
their portfolio) before selecting one. Remember,
this is going to be an especially important
investment for your business, so plan only after
strong due diligence. When talking with them,
there are some points you need to be clear about
from the beginning. This includes

• The type of props It is important to know what
  kind of props the food photographer is going to
  use for your shoot and also why.
• Will there be a food stylist A food stylist is
  another important professional you need while
  doing food photography. Sometimes, the
  photographer may have one in his or her team or
  may recommend one. Or you can find one of your
  choices.
• Location An important aspect as it will matter
  very much on how the ultimate images come out.
  Also, if it is not in your business venue, you
  will need to prepare the foods to be photographed
  and transported to the location.
• Backup Anything can go wrong during a shoot
  from equipment failure to the photographer being
  unavailable. So, ask in advance what the
  photographer's up plans are.
