Assalamualaikum @ Peace be upon you. Do you guys remember what I shared last time in the same topic?  Last time, I introduced about 'Kuih Tepung Talam Gula Melaka' and 'Kuih Tepung Talam Pandan'.

That is the power of well-taken pictures by a food photographer. I have done some analysis on a picture of pizza that I took from Google. I will describe the lighting, camera angle, props, colour combinations and etc. (source: Google) Lighting - It is important to make sure we have enough source of light in order to bring out the natural colour of the food. The food becomes more appealing and appetizing to the eyes. When the angle of the light source different, it could create shadow.
