What is Food Photography Composition?

Composition in food photography is how you arrange items on your photo. Since photography is an art, you can do it in any way you want, but there are some rules that serve as guidelines. These rules ensure that the viewer stops scrolling for a moment and spends a little more time viewing your photo.

Generally speaking, composition is one of the most powerful food photography tools. Good news is, it's not hard to master.

I created a downloadable guide with 5 composition techniques with visual examples and explanations.

If you are a food blogger, mastering these techniques would definitely improve your food photography, and hence your sponsored posts opportunities, page views and income.

So, without further ado, here is my food photography composition guide.
