1 Choose your theme

The first step is to decide what kind of nutrition theme you want to highlight in your photos. Do you want to focus on a specific diet, such as vegan, gluten-free, or keto? Do you want to emphasize the seasonal, local, or organic nature of your produce? Do you want to showcase the nutritional benefits of certain foods, such as antioxidants, probiotics, or fiber? Once you have a clear idea of your theme, you can plan your recipes, ingredients, and props accordingly.

Food photography is more than making food look good; it also conveys a message about its health benefits. Incorporating nutrition into food photography involves choosing diverse and colorful ingredients, experimenting with different lighting, highlighting plating, using props that reinforce nutrition, getting creative with angles and compositions, and editing for maximum impact. By utilizing these steps, food photographers can capture the freshness, vibrancy, and nutritional value of ingredients in their dishes to inspire and educate viewers.

2 Select your colors

The second step is to choose a color palette that matches your theme and enhances the visual appeal of your food. Colors can convey different emotions and associations, such as freshness, warmth, energy, or comfort. For example, if you want to highlight the freshness of your ingredients, you can use bright and vibrant colors, such as green, yellow, and red. If you want to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, you can use warm and earthy tones, such as brown, orange, and beige. You can also use contrast and harmony to create interest and balance in your photos.

Food photographers can explore the "conscious eating" theme, which incorporates nutrition and promotes mindfulness around what we consume. They aim to create visually appealing and nutritious dishes using fresh ingredients that have health benefits. Photographers can use different lighting, angles, and compositions to convey the theme's message. Add props that reinforce the theme of nutrition and sustainability. The aim is to inspire viewers to be more aware of their food choices, prioritize their health and wellness, and encourage them to make informed decisions around ethical sourcing and food sustainability. Conscious eating can positively impact people's lives and the planet. It is a powerful theme that can make a statement.

3 Arrange your composition

The third step is to arrange your food and props in a way that showcases their nutritional value and creates a pleasing composition. You can use different techniques, such as the rule of thirds, leading lines, negative space, and symmetry, to create a focal point and guide the viewer's eye. You can also use different angles, such as overhead, side, or close-up, to capture the texture, shape, and details of your food. You can also use props, such as utensils, napkins, plates, or glasses, to add context and scale to your photos.

4 Add your story

The fourth step is to add some elements that tell a story about your food and its nutrition. You can use natural or artificial lighting to create a mood and highlight the features of your food. You can also use garnishes, sauces, crumbs, or steam to add some movement and life to your photos. You can also use labels, signs, or notes to add some information or tips about your food and its nutrition. You can also use human elements, such as hands, faces, or expressions, to add some personality and emotion to your photos.

Adding elements that tell a story about the food and its nutrition makes a significant difference. I experimented with different lighting techniques to create the desired mood and highlight specific elements of the dish. Adding garnishes, sauces, and crumbs adds some movement and interest to the photos, making the dish look more enticing. Adding a label or sign with information on the food's nutrition helps viewers understand its benefits. Including human elements in the photos, such as hands holding the dish or a person enjoying the meal, creates a sense of authenticity and relatability to the images. These elements add personality and emotion to the photos, which is crucial to telling a story about the food and its nutrition.

5 Edit your photos

The fifth step is to edit your photos to enhance their quality and consistency. You can use different software or apps to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and white balance of your photos. You can also use filters, presets, or overlays to add some style and flair to your photos. You can also crop, rotate, or resize your photos to improve their composition and fit your format. You can also remove any unwanted or distracting elements from your photos to make them look cleaner and more professional.

6 Share your photos

The sixth and final step is to share your photos with your audience and showcase your nutrition theme. You can use different platforms, such as social media, blogs, websites, or magazines, to reach your target audience and communicate your message. You can also use captions, hashtags, or keywords to add some context and relevance to your photos. You can also use feedback, comments, or analytics to evaluate the impact and performance of your photos and improve your skills.

90 % of pictures of almost 100 pictures on my nutrition website, I took myself with only my iPhone, here are a few mistakes I made so you don’t make them too. - Thinking I didn’t have enough to start, when it comes to photography, play around with whatever you have lying around. - thinking I had to invest in expensive lighting to start- your best friend is natural light ! Just look a window area and set up your props. A few apps I used include Lightroom, snapseed, photoshop, Canva and the iPhone camera app.

Brands can incorporate nutrition into their food photography by collaborating with a food stylist who is also recipe developer to build recipes that perform at all levels. A well-written, repeatable recipe with accurate nutritional information that also looks beautiful in front of the camera is a win-win-win-win.
