How to snap
a dish.

The better the snap, the better everything we make from it. Posts, ads, menus, the lot. Here’s the whole skill.

The only two rules

Two things we can’t fix later.

Rule one

Let there be light.

Stand near a window or under a light. If your eyes can see the dish clearly, so can we.

Rule two

Hold still.

Tap the dish on your screen, hold a beat, then shoot. Sharp beats fancy, every time.

That’s the whole rulebook. Dark and blurry are the only snaps the Studio can’t save.

The angles

Move around the plate.

A few steps around the pass. Each angle teaches the Studio more about your dish.

01 · top-down example01 · TOP-DOWN

Straight above. Bowls, boards and flat plates.

02 · diner’s view example02 · DINER’S VIEW

How it looks landing at the table. The money angle.

03 · side-on example03 · SIDE-ON

For tall ones. Stacks, pours and desserts.

04 · up close example04 · UP CLOSE

Your best detail. The glaze, the crumb, the char.

Two minimum. Five is perfect.More angles means the Studio nails your dish exactly, not almost.
Where to shoot

Give it a good seat.

Got ten spare seconds? Put the plate where a diner would eat it. The nicer the spot, the nicer everything comes out.

A table near light
BEST
A table near light
Window table, courtyard, anywhere the sun gets in.
The bar
GREAT

Warm and moody. Perfect for drinks and desserts.
Wherever it stands
STILL FINE
Wherever it stands
The pass, mid-rush. We rebuild the setting anyway.

No good spot free mid-rush? Shoot it where it stands. Don’t stage it, don’t wipe anything, just don’t miss the dish.

The whole guide, one breath
