Remember the days when you used to photograph your dinner, get your snaps and post it to your instagram and another social media to show your friends what you ate? Since 2013 untill now it has been the year of instant food photography. Like all things, there are trends in photography. And it’s very easy to fall into a trend because it’s what you see, every day. It’s easy when you are starting out to be highly influenced by a trend because often, our first instinct is to try to imitate what we see – it helps us to learn and improve our technical skills.
Most people love looking at mouth-watering images of food, and now i have plenty at my fingertips. #Food was the fourth top hashtag for Instagram. Want to know who to watch? Check out some of this year’s hottest foodie instagrammers and bloggers.
