Having the mood to search a little bit about food photography and I come across this interesting topic, The Best Camera Angle for Taking Food Photos. It is a simple page introducing to you how to take food pictures from different angles. It gives some examples. I would like to share his sharing here:-
Most used camera angles
1) Horizontal to table
This is when your eyes are at the level of the table. If you decide to use this position, make sure your background is distraction free. This is because at this angle, your background is very much visible and can be quickly create noise in your photograph.
2) At angle about 15
3) Around 45
Many people try to photograph food at around this angle however, in most cases changing your angle to one of the other three can improve your photo by a great deal. There can be a lot of great photographs at this angle too.
4) Top view
This perspective sometime creates a wonderful images. Most photographs of beverages are shot at either horizontal level or at around an angle of 15.
