How To Be A #FOODPORN Star

If you have ever aspired to be an Instagram sensation (one of my dreams too!), now is your chance. I reached out to our favorite food bloggers, writers, and photographers for their pro tips. Take notes.
photo processing apps are fun, but you don't need to go crazy with the filters. my favorite app is vsco cam, which has subtle films as well as tools to let you adjust white balance, lighting, and sharpness.

learn to edit. only post pictures that really look great and represent your aesthetic. don't just post every single food picture you take. your feed needs to be well curated too!

always use natural light which is ideally coming from one direction (like, put your plate of food next to a window).

go for the overhead shot. up-close-and-personal shots of your carbonara with the phone held at an angle are so 2007 (i kid, but only partially). stand on a chair or the table (shoes off, please!) and capture the spread or dish from above - that way, your viewer will feel like they're observing a moment in time, not about to get a faceful of pasta.
