That\u2019s where additional food photography equipment and accessories come into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From lighting to tripods and color-correction tools to lenses, here are six of the most important food-photography accessories to take your images to the next level \u2014 and cultivate hungry fans and followers in the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Achieving Professional Food Photography Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographers swear by several things when taking pictures of food: natural light, shot variety (overhead, from the side, and action shots like cooking), a clean, clutter-free scene, and, gear-wise, a camera with a prime lens. The former, natural light, is arguably the most important first step. If you\u2019re photographing in a dim restaurant, use a soft, diffused light to create a natural look\u2014although it\u2019s ideal to photograph food and meals by a window when possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Must-Have Food Photography Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A basic food photography equipment kit isn\u2019t too extensive; it only takes a few pieces of gear to make your pictures of food shine. The necessary gadgets? A camera, prime lens (such as a 35mm or 55mm), a tripod with a tripod arm extender for overhead shots, a lighting kit, and, depending on the look and feel of the shoot, an aesthetically pleasing backdrop or faux countertop, such as a marble slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"589\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ca5018stm.jpg\" alt=\"Canon EF 50mm f\/1.8 STM best Canon landscape lens\" class=\"wp-image-61051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ca5018stm.jpg 589w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ca5018stm-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/ca5018stm-50x42.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prime lens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime lenses deliver crisp, sharp, and realistic photos that make dishes and desserts virtually jump off the screen or page. That\u2019s why any serious food photographer needs one. Typically a 50mm focal length (a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/nifty-fifty-lens-what-is-it-why-you-need-it\/\">nifty fifty<\/a>) will do the trick, although it\u2019s always a good idea to have a wider angle for scene-setting shots or photographing in tighter spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primes also have a wider aperture, which means they\u2019ll work pristinely in low-lit situations. Some of the most popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-lenses-for-food-photography\/\">food-photography prime lenses<\/a> include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/iso5018fe.html\">Sony FE 50mm f\/1.8<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ca5018stm.html\">Canon EF 50mm f\/1.8<\/a>\u00a0<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz5012.html?origterm=nikon+nikkor+z+50mm+f%2f1.2+s&amp;searchredirect=true\">Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f\/1.2<\/a>\u00a0<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ifj50xf.html?origterm=fujifilm+xf+50mm+f%2f1.0&amp;searchredirect=true\">Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50mm f\/1.0<\/a>\u00a0<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs5014.html\">Panasonic 50mm f\/1.4 LUMIX S-Pro<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"380\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Manfrotto-Element-MII-MKELMII4BKBH-rgoijserg0es-rg4aw34-gergse.jpg\" alt=\"Manfrotto Element MII Aluminum Tripod with Ball Head\" class=\"wp-image-65840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Manfrotto-Element-MII-MKELMII4BKBH-rgoijserg0es-rg4aw34-gergse.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Manfrotto-Element-MII-MKELMII4BKBH-rgoijserg0es-rg4aw34-gergse-163x300.jpg 163w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Manfrotto-Element-MII-MKELMII4BKBH-rgoijserg0es-rg4aw34-gergse-27x50.jpg 27w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Tripod <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re filming video content or capturing action shots of recipes in the making, you\u2019ll need a solid tripod. Tripod options run the gamut, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-select-a-tripod-thats-right-for-you\/\">choosing the right tripod for you<\/a> might seem challenging. But one of the most versatile options is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/bgmkmii4bkbh.html\">Manfrotto Element MII Aluminum Tripod<\/a>. You can take this compact-yet-durable tripod with you wherever you\u2019re cooking, be it at home or on the road. This tripod offers top-notch stability, with versatile angle options thanks to two independent leg angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pttx2500.jpg\" alt=\"Photek The eXtender\" class=\"wp-image-66195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pttx2500.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pttx2500-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/pttx2500-50x20.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Tripod arm extender<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To capture those mid-stir or dining shots from above, you\u2019ll need a reliable tripod arm extension like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pttx2500.html\">Photek\u2019s The eXtender<\/a>. This 32-inch telescopic tripod arm attaches to most tripods, letting you shoot from overhead without asking your family or friends for help. The eXtender has a universal clamping device that syncs with just about every tripod, not to mention a counter-weighted aluminum telescoping extension and a quick-release ball head for easy camera mounting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk.jpg\" alt=\"Flashpoint XPLOR 600PRO\" class=\"wp-image-66194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fplfx600ptbk-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Lighting kit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A strobe light is your best bet for professional-quality food photos, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fplfx600ptbk.html\">Flashpoint XPLOR 600PRO<\/a> is among the best of them. This handy kit is about as close to natural light as it gets; it promises stable color output, versatility across scenes, and dazzling imagery without add-ons.

It&#8217;s a must-have for shoots when time is of the essence, whether it\u2019s melting ice cream or capturing steaming veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko.jpg\" alt=\"DGK Color Tools Reference Cards\" class=\"wp-image-66193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/dgko-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Color correction card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things make food photos less appetizing than unnatural yellow hues; that\u2019s why color-temperature hacks like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/dgk2.html\">DGK Color Tools Reference Cards<\/a> are a must-have for food photographers. These affordable cards work with JPEG, RAW, film, or digital formats. Simply set the white balance with the cards manually and watch as your food shots deliciously come to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst.jpg\" alt=\"Flashpoint Shooting Table with Plexi Glass\" class=\"wp-image-66191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fpst-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Backdrops <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Countertops, marble pastry boards, and even art paper work well for food-photography backdrops, but one of the best ways to capture a clean, polished photo is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/fpst.html\">Flashpoint Shooting Table with Plexi Glass<\/a>. This budget-friendly table offers a glossy white background with a 24 by 40-inch Plexiglass sheet that can be lit to eliminate shadows, mimic spotlighting, or creating drop-shadow effects. The Flashpoint table is ideal for commercial, food, and product photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can also use a background board \u2014 like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/vw00818.html\">varieties available from V-Flat World<\/a> \u2014 to get an even background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JerkStopper-Aero-Clip-On-Support-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tether Tools Aero Clip-On Support\" class=\"wp-image-44018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JerkStopper-Aero-Clip-On-Support-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/JerkStopper-Aero-Clip-On-Support-1-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by: Tether Tools<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Computers &amp; Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you have your food photography equipment, but what kind of computer accessories do you need to perfect those culinary shots? Here\u2019s where to start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laptops<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to level up your food photography, you\u2019re going to need a powerful laptop to create a seamless photo editing and live-review experience. Some of the best options include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/de2rgrc.html\">Dell Inspiron 15<\/a> and, for Mac users, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/acmk193lla.html\">Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch<\/a>. Both of these laptops come with stunning, sharp displays with ample power for photo processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard Drives<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographers swear by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/external-hard-drive-buying-guide\/\">external hard drives<\/a>, and for good reason: You can tote them around with you on travels, and it keeps those important images protected. Two of the best hard drives for photographers are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/vdlfr4000800.html\">LaCie Rugged USB-C 3.0 hard drive<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/idse812tg25.html\">SanDisk Extreme PRO hard drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tethering Gear<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tethering is a great way to monitor your images in real time, via your laptop. That way you can finetune and adjust in the moment instead of having to reset the entire scene. Tether Tools offers one of the best ways to get started with this process via its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ttg098.html\">TetherGuard Tethering Support Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/shutterstock_546477451-e1544805491822-1024x463.jpg\" alt=\"7 Best Laptops for Photo Editing - 42West, Adorama\" class=\"wp-image-54443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/shutterstock_546477451-e1544805491822-1024x463.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/shutterstock_546477451-e1544805491822-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/shutterstock_546477451-e1544805491822.jpg 1060w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Photo editing software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important elements of the food-photography process? Photo-editing technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/best-photo-editing-software\/\">Photo editing software<\/a> such as Adobe Lightroom lets you fine-tune your pictures of food exactly as you\u2019ve envisioned. You can mask the lead dish and lighten or up saturation to make it stand out. Alternatively with Adobe Lightroom, you can easily use presets to edit a series of photos from the same restaurant (and therefore with the same setting) without compromising on quality. Lightroom is by far one of the most popular options for editing software\u2014not just for food photography, but for the entire photography industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/food-photography-props-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"food photography props equipment\" class=\"wp-image-85931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/food-photography-props-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/food-photography-props-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/food-photography-props.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Ella Olsson on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Props<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While the main focus of food photography is, of course, the food, there are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/making-food-videos-tips-and-tools-of-the-trade\/\">food-photography props<\/a> you can use to add interest to your images. Try a marble-slab backdrop if you want a clean, bright aesthetic. You can also add to the scene with vintage dishes, silverware, or table d\u00e9cor like candlesticks. If you\u2019re going for a fun, summery look, try colorful straws. Clean, wrinkle-free linens can help set the scene as well. To find what works for you, research similar photo examples via Pinterest or magazines, and see how they\u2019ve set the scene, and adapt your set from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Craving more food-photography inspiration?
