Food photography is an amazing thing that draws the viewers and makes them say yum… or not. Do any of you have one or more cookbooks sitting on your shelf? Now how many recipes have you actually made that DIDN’T have a corresponding photo?
It’s the law of averages – the more photos that tell the viewer that it looks good to eat – the more likely they will come back to look at your blog, the more likely they will post it on their social media pages, and the more images they see they like in a cookbook… the more likely they will buy it. There are a lot of wonderful chiefs out there, but some of us are just average mom, spouses, or even bachelor(ettes) that really just want to be able to cook a recipe without too much effort and make it look good. Being able to compare what you have prepared from a recipe to a photo in a book can be the pat on the back you need to know you did it right.
I’ve been photographing small products and food for over two decades and how can I help but love it when someone looks at a food photo and you can see them with a slight hunger twinge in their tummy for it.
That being said… it’s time to spruce up your blogs and websites. Why not push your food blog to the next level – and make it look as good as it tastes? Let me help you with your food blogs or cookbooks to be and make people drool. For details please contact me at info@fototails.com for a brochure and options for making your blog pop!
