1. Tame the flash- turn off flash in order to avoid overexposure
2. See the natural light- Use natural light in order to make the food feel natural
3. Obey the rule of thirds- place picture anywhere except center for a balanced picture
4. Use props- props can enhance your picture
5. Make the most out of your camera- use the most out of your camera instead of buying an expensive one
6. Look beyond subject- make sure the background of the subject looks good since it can distract from the actual subject
7. Different camera angles- use camera angles in order to get the best picture
8. Maximize setup- make the most out of your studio or your house
9. What’s old is new- food looks good against old items since it makes the food look better
10. Try not to use tripod- tripods can take away from creativity of the picture. Only use it if you have to
