Step 4: The Right Angle
After setting up the shot and getting your camera ready, you might need to cause a scene. It may mean standing on your chair or shining a bright flashlight in a dark restaurant to get the shot. Definitely take your time and try out a few angles before you dig in. Each dish will have a flattering angle, you just have to find it – for example, a pizza will most likely look better from above because it is flat, while a taco will look better from the side because it has dimension. Also consider using your hands as props – it may embarrass your friends, but it will be worth it.
