Adjust the angle of bowls and plates to suggest a pouring motion or create dynamic lines. For example, tilt a bowl of soup slightly to make it look like it is being poured.

Scatter garnishes such as herbs, spices, or seeds in a way that suggests movement towards the main dish. For example, sprinkle parsley leading toward a pasta dish to guide the eye.

Capture an action, like sprinkling powdered sugar or grating cheese, just as it's happening. For example, photographing as cheese falls onto a pizza can capture the dynamic of the action.

Use the natural steam from hot food to convey warmth and movement. For example, photograph a hot pie just as it comes out of the oven to show steam rising from the crust.

Create a sense of movement by strategically positioning layers of ingredients, such as pouring a dressing over a salad to show how it flows down the leaves.

Incorporate hands in the frame to give a sense of activity and movement. For example, hands tearing bread or a piece of fruit can bring life to the scene.

Position cutlery to add a sense of motion, such as forks or spoons in mid-use, as if they're just about to take a bite or stir a pot.
