CONSEIL 1 : Utilisez l'appareil photo et l'objectif appropriés

You don’t need a full studio setup to get started—any DSLR or mirrorless camera can work, and even smartphone photography has its place. However, for consistently crisp, high-quality results, using a prime lens designed for food photography makes all the difference.

We recommend:

• Tamron 35mm F/2.8 Di III OSD (modèle F053) for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras
• Tamron SP 35mm F/1.4 Di USD (Modèle F045) for Canon and Nikon DSLRs or compatible mirrorless cameras with adapters

These lenses are lightweight, deliver exceptional image quality, offer beautiful bokeh, and feature fast apertures perfect for low-light or indoor dining environments—ideal for capturing Instagram food photos on the go.

CONSEIL 2 : Prendre des photos avec beaucoup de lumière naturelle

Great food photography begins with great lighting. Natural sunlight enhances color, texture, and contrast, making your dishes look fresh and vibrant. Avoid dim or overly warm artificial lighting, which can make food look dull or unappetizing.

Set up your food near a window with soft natural light. Then, use the wide aperture of a Tamron 35mm lens to blur the background and keep the focus on your dish. This technique adds a professional touch to your images and draws the viewer’s eye directly to the food.

TIP 3: Focus on “Dinner Table” and Close-Up Shots

Angle and composition are crucial when it comes to Insta-worthy food photography. Capture your dishes from just above the table, like you’re about to dig in. This natural perspective feels familiar and inviting to viewers.

Don’t forget to zoom in on the details—crumbs, textures, drizzles, or glistening toppings. Close-up shots help highlight the intricacies of your meal, especially with high-quality lenses like Tamron’s, which bring out vibrant detail without distortion.

CONSEIL 4 : Créez un arrangement artistique

Food styling matters! The most Instagrammable food photos often come down to how the dish is arranged. Think like a designer—balance colors, shapes, and textures on the plate.

Try:

• Cutting a slice out of a cake and placing it beside the whole
• Stacking ingredients or utensils for a layered look
• Adding garnish like herbs, edible flowers, or sauces for a pop of color

Composition and creativity will help your food photos go from simple snapshots to scroll-stopping images.
