INSTAGRAM Home → Instagram tips → Tricks to get the best food pictures on Instagram

Are you crazy about gastronomy? Do you love to get behind a stove and show your

creations to the world after they are done? Instagram has become a platform where every

kind of picture has a place and food pictures are among the most successful ones, especially

now that gastronomy is on trend because of the cooking programs that clutter television

programming nowadays.

With these advices, the food pictures we will upload on Instagram will be the envy of the

best chefs of the world.

Pick your courses

A lot of people upload pictures of that dish that didn’t come out as he/she expected, just

because that person wasted a lot of time trying to make it right. You don’t need to upload

everything you cook, but it’s good for you to show that cake you made that looks absolutely

delicious, that recipe you learnt from your grandmother o that experimental course you

invented yourself that looks so good. If you want to get a lot of followers on Instagram, the

best thing you can do is to buy real Instagram likes, but you shouldn’t overload your followers

uploading too many pictures of questionable or low quality.

Be careful with the filters.

Instagram’s filters can be very useful, but they can also change the product’s appearance

for the worse. The gastronomy related pictures should be as “pure” as possible, because,

otherwise, your course can seem unreal to the viewers. Even worse, if you use the wrong

filter, the picture could give the impression that ingredients you used to make that food were

bad (this usually happens when you use green, yellow or brown filters, for example).

People shouldn’t appear in this kind of pictures.

We know it’s tempting to appear near our creation. But you want your picture to be a

genuine food picture, not a picture of us near to a food plate that the viewers have problems to

see, nor a picture in which our hand is more visible than the food itself. Usually, in the picture

shouldn’t appear anything that could divert the viewer’s attention from the food we want to

show to the world.

Technical aspects.

We may not be professional photographers or not knowing much about this art, but

everybody knows when a picture is a good one. You have to look for the best context for your

picture, frame your creation correctly, avoid blurry or moved pictures and try to avoid the

overuse of your flash looking for places with a good light, among other things. Ultimately, your

goal is for your picture to be as tempting as your food is.

Take your own pictures.

The goal is for you to share your own creations in the same moment you have cooked

them. Try to avoid repeating picture of plates you had made long ago and, most of all, don’t

present as yours courses you haven’t made yourself and that belong to other people. Most of

times, it’s very easy for others to know if a course is really yours or not.

With these 5 tricks and your abilities as a cook, I’m sure you will become soon the most

famous chef on Instagram.
