Taking Your Food Pix
from Flat to I WANT THAT:
Top Tips from Photographer & Dietitian Nina Mills
T
here you are,
mindlessly flipping
through Insta, when
suddenly a glorious shot of
grilled halloumi lands in
front of you. You forget what
you were doing and suddenly
You.Need.That.Halloumi.Now.
Such is the power of food
photography – when done well. But it’s
not as easy as pointing and clicking. We
turned to pro food photographer Nina
Mills for advice on how to take your food
shotsfrom flat to I WANT THAT!
Nina’s background is not originally in
photography – in fact, she’s a dietitian
and Intuitive Eating Counsellor. But she
fell in love with taking photos of food
when creating recipes for her website,
feelgoodeating.com.au. From there, she
invested time and energies into learning
how to do food photography
exceptionally well.
Nina enjoys shooting in natural light and
creating airy, minimalist light images that
leave people with no choice but to hit the
drooling face emoji!
