The habit of taking photos of food before eating has been fully adapted over the years due to smartphone photography. In this digital age where one can easily upload and share their photos on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook with just one click, you can establish a captivating and engaging online presence. As the famous saying goes, “If you didn’t Instagram it, did it even happen?”

We all have our own reasons as to why we take photos of our food before consuming it: it can be to record moments of pleasure, where you can appreciate the hard work and labor of love of the cook, or to simply immerse oneself in local culture. As summed up by the celebrated chef and writer Anthony Bourdain, “Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.”

To stand out from a sea of food photos on social media, your shots must be exceptional. The futuristic Vivo V11 shows you how it is done with these essential food photography tips:

Tip #1 Use Camera’s Grid Setting

For the right composition of photos, the rule of thirds or the guideline in producing images to craft well-balanced and sharp shots, is important. Positioning a subject with these lines formulates more dynamism and interest in the composition, rather than merely placing the subject in the center of the shot. The primary objective is that an off-center composition is more appealing to the eye and seems more natural than one where the subject is placed right in the center of the frame. It also inspires you to maximize negative space.

The Vivo V11 features a grid setting with the Rule of Thirds guideline for well-balanced food shots.




Tip #2 Right Angles

A camera angle is one of the fastest techniques to rivet the viewers and to increase variety to your photos. There are several camera angles that one may experiment with to boost your artistry such as the eye-level, worm’s-eye view, and the bird’s eye view. The Eye-Level Angle is the most standard way to take a photo, as it is the way we view most subjects every day. This perspective enables the viewers to feel closer; it invokes a sense of intimacy and compassion.

While the Worm’s-Eye View is the angle wherein the photographer takes a photo from below. It makes the subject look big, even if they are not. Shots like these make it appear as if the subject has the authority over the viewer and make them feel powerless. The Bird’s-Eye View, on the other hand, is taking a photo of a subject from above. This angle makes the viewers feel that they are superior to the subject.


The V11’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) camera features allow the user to do a Bird’s-Eye View photography angle where one takes a photo of a subject from above.



Tip #3 Natural Lighting

Being highly aware of light is probably the most fundamental way to enhance your photography skills. Access to exceptional lighting may even be more significant than the subject of the photo, as various forms of natural light can create a big change to the subject’s overall look. Outdoor shoots, preferably near a window is the perfect place to shoot photos in natural lighting.

If in a low-lit restaurant, V11’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) feature can adjust to capture detail and
perfect exposure. Its AI Low Light Mode enhances brightness in low light conditions, while
retaining rich details. It captures up to 6 images and combines them into one to make your
photo more vivid.

Tip #4 Add Props

An easy yet practical way to add life and atmosphere to the photo is to add vibrant props to your scene. Dull photos need a point of interest. You can have the freedom as to how to present your photo. It can make or break your picture, it can intensify character to a photo, and it can strengthen context to the scene. It can be used to convey the message into an image. Utilizing props may also inspire you while diversifying your creative skills.

The V11 AI Dual Camera specs feature a 12MP + 5MP dual rear camera combination. It allows the user to add vibrant props to your frame as an easy yet practical way to add life and atmosphere to the photo.




Tip #5 Don’t Use Flash and Don’t Zoom Manually

Using the flash will make the photos washed-out or too pale. Colorful and lively photos won’t fall
apart and can relay a more maximum effect to attract you sentimentally. When you zoom manually, it’ll pixilate and the photo will be noisy with small dots all over the image. Good thing the V11 has dual camera that features a large aperture of f 1/8 plus. It also has AI Scene Recognition which applies customized enhancements to any objects to make photos “pop”.
