Food photography is a trending game that has made people crazy to click the perfect photo of what they are eating. These trends welcome anything and everything that looks appealing to the eyes and tempting to the tongue.
Apart from a good camera and well presented food, your next priority that should be plates that make your food look insta-worthy.
Plates can be of different kinds. So, how do you select the best? By using what it is exactly meant for. The simplicity of the plate makes the food you serve on it pop.
Let’s see which are those plates that can change the look of your mediocre food that you plate on it.
Coloured plates:
White plates: The commonly seen white plates are the easiest to find. Their simplicity is like an empty canvas that can be painted with food as per our preference. It makes the food pop. But, the only demerit this age-old plate faces is that colours like pastel yellow and greens don’t pop. Do we have foods of this colour? Yes we do. Everything with lettuce and cheese has these colours. Also the colour white and pink doesn’t show up until complimented with a darker tone of it’s family.
Black plates: To save the ship that sank due to the white plate, we got black plates. We know everything looks vibrant and bright with a black background. If it were for an instagram picture your lettuce would look like a florescent leaf on this black plate. But, the black plate is sometimes too dark for foods that are completely white and doesn’t give a good feel.
Colored plates: Plates of the colour blue and red give a great base to food with multiple layers or even for that matter something that has a hue of complimenting colour. If you know that orange is the new black then your probably know that this colour will make everything look like it’s made for the gods.
Type of plates:
A plate always has a purpose to serve. The size of the plate measures the size of the serving and also the makes the food look more appealing making people ask for more.
Salad plate: It’s the smallest plate in the plate family. It measures the smallest portion. This plate is usually used for serving salads as the name suggests, but also is used to serve desserts which are also served in small portions. If you take a perfect match of the serving size and the colour of plate your desserts will be a hit on the social media.
The deep dish: It’s not actually called a deep dish, but it looks like one. This deep dish is a new design and is usually used to serve semi-solid or gooey foods like your cheese pasta or cheezy udon noodles. Can you serve desserts? Yes obviously.. those sizzling or pour chocolate over dishes are to be clicked in these dishes.
