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.

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.

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.

Show the dynamic flow of liquids by capturing the precise moment of a pour, for instance, syrup being poured over waffles.

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.

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.

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.
