The better the snap, the better everything we make from it. Posts, ads, menus, the lot. Here’s exactly what to do.
Shoot near a window or under a bright light. Check it: you can see every colour on the plate, and no part is in dark shadow.
Wipe the lens. Tap the food on your screen to focus. Hold the phone with both hands and keep still as you shoot. Check it: zoom in and the edges look crisp.
That’s the whole rulebook. Dark and blurry are the only snaps the Studio can’t save.
Same four spots, every dish. A few steps around the plate, and the Studio learns it from every side.
Phone flat, straight above the plate.
Stand over the plate. Keep the phone level so nothing looks tilted.
Phone where a seated diner’s eyes are.
Sit down, or bend to seat height, and tip the phone down a little.
Phone at plate height, level with the food.
Crouch to the bench. Keep the plate edge flat across the screen.
Step in until one bite fills the screen.
Use your feet, not your fingers. Pinch to zoom makes it blurry.
The table and the light end up in every photo. Got ten seconds? Move the plate to the best spot. Tap a card to see what we made.
No good spot free mid-rush? Snap it where it stands. A quick snap beats a missed dish.
Snapped it somewhere plain? We can move it to a better spot in your venue.
Always your venue. We never make up the spot.
