I know you said you don’t typically read lots of cooking blogs but I would DEFINITELY start if you want to take your photos skills up a notch. Don’t underestimate how much finding a photo you DON’T like can help you hone in on what you DO like). In terms of styling, look through LOTS of food blogs and cooking magazines to find what you like (and what you don’t like. If it is too sunny there will be lots of “hot spots” and probably give you much more contrast than you want (basically, some really bright, overexposed, blown-out spots and some really dark, underexposed low spots).Īs with anything, it is important to play around and find your own style. I (unfortunately!) don’t get to a lot of food photography myself so I can’t speak to this from experience-but I would assume this works best for food as well. As a general rule, the most flattering photos are taken on a slightly overcast day (the clouds diffuse the light). Many of the best food photos I’ve seen on blogs are even shot outside (no matter the temperature!).
So, making sure that you have plenty of (non-yellow!) lighting OR using *lots* of daylight is how you want to go about this.

*That being said, it is best to use a lower ISO whenever possible (the trade-off with a higher ISO is that the picture will be gritty/grainy.NOT what you want in a food photo!) Although using a flash will allow you to use a lower ISO, a flash with food photography typically does not give a great result. outdoors on a sunny day) and a high ISO setting is more appropriate for low-light situations (indoors without a flash, nighttime shots, etc.). Once you have this right apply the last piece of heat tape half over the bottom cuts and half on the mug to hold the paper in place.In it’s simplest terms, a low ISO setting works best in bright light (i.e. If not you can slip the paper up a down a bit where the cuts are until it is. Now check to see if your text is aligned with the base of the mug. Once this is done apply 1 piece of tape to the center of each end of the paper. Now rotate the paper back and forth until you have roughly the same distance between each end and the handle and the same amount of white ceramic showing at the top and bottom of the paper. Carefully wrap the paper around a mug, image facing inward. So now cut off about 3 pieces of heat tape about 1/2' 12mm long stick them on the edge of your bench. You will also notice that most of the time you can see through the paper so this will help you to align your images so they are horizontal. otherwise your text may not run parallel to the bottom of your mug. What this will allow us to do is once we have taped the paper to the mug with the image facing the mug the cuts allow us to adjust the center of the paper up or down just a little to allow for the taper.
All mugs are slightly tapered so before we wrap our artwork around the mug we are going to make two cuts right in the middle of the paper so we end up cutting through about 3/4 of the paper. Now we are ready to position our print onto our sublimation mug.
