Find The Window!

But, be careful with the time. Capturing with sun light in the afternoon is a bad idea. It will make your plate look so yellow. Set the time on 8-10 AM or 3-5 PM.
Put Some Bae(s).
You need to style your food well before snapping a pictures. Put a basic table cover, use a white plain plate or bowl and make sure your fork or spoon are clean enough.
