Low Angle
Used to present the food in a powerful, majestic way, often ideal for showing off the base of a product, like the crust of a pizza or the cake stand of a layered cake.
Straight-On Angle
Used to emphasize the layers of a dish or the height, such as burgers or a stack of pancakes, often allowing the background to play a role in the composition.
Macro Angle
This is a close-up angle used to capture intricate details and textures of food, such as the grains on a slice of bread or the bubbles in a carbonated drink.
Overhead Angle
Used to showcase the surface of a dish and its layout, often used for flat lays and to display the entirety of a meal.
45-Degree Angle
A common angle that closely replicates the viewpoint of someone sitting at a table about to eat; it's versatile and can be used for a variety of dishes.
Eye-Level Angle
Used to create a personal and intimate perspective, as if the viewer is facing the food directly, often ideal for engaging the audience as if they're about to take a bite.
Extreme Close-Up Angle
Used to create an abstract view of the food, where the focus can be on a single element, such as a drop of sauce or the sizzle on a grill.
High Angle
Provides a bird's eye view of the food, creating a commanding point of view that can highlight the setting or plates but from a higher perspective than the overhead angle.
Dutch Angle
Used occasionally to create a dynamic, unconventional look by tilting the camera, often used to make the composition more playful or to add movement.
Three-Quarter Angle
Used to show the depth and detail of a dish while still allowing for some of the setting or background to be visible; a mix between overhead and straight-on.
