The holidays are almost here (yay) and no matter what or how you celebrate, I’m sure there is some form of a family feast. Whether you cook from scratch, order in or are eating out,\u00a0the point is to gather around the table and enjoy a meal together as a family. There’s nothing quite like food that seems to bring people together. It’s no wonder that people are always eager to capture their meal and share it with the world!<\/p>\n

It’s not only foodies that are snapping pictures of their meals \u2013 anyone can capture and share a great picture of their favourite holiday meal. \u00a0Since for most of us, our smart phone is an extension of our body, we also tend to use it as our camera. It might not be\u00a0‘professional’, but you can capture some amazing images if you know how to use it properly.<\/p>\n

Together with The Mobile Shop<\/a>, located at my local Real Canadian Superstore, I’m sharing a few tips on how to\u00a0take that picture-perfect image of your food.<\/p>\n

Lighting<\/h3>\n

Lighting is probably one of the most important elements of any good picture. While circumstances may not allow it, if you’re able to, place the food near a window for some indirect natural light. If you’re in a restaurant and the lighting is dimmed, avoid using your flash as it may create a glare and distort the image. Instead, try moving your food directly underneath the low light. You can always brighten up your photo using an editing app or filter.<\/p>\n
