As part of a work project, I’ve had to comb through a couple of thousand of food pictures associated with user-generated recipes. Dear food bloggers, could you do me a big favour? Yuge favour? <\/p>\n

LEARN TO FUCKING TAKE A PICTURE THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOUR FOOD LOOK LIKE 70’S ERA DOG SHIT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously! I’ve seen medical textbook pictures that look more appealing! The most obvious crimes I’ve seen are:<\/p>\n

– Bad lighting. Really, really, really bad lighting.
\n– Blurry, out of focus pictures. In this day and age?
\n– Automated date\/timestamp overlaid on the pictures. That might be useful for your family holiday pictures, not not for your food blog.
\n– Content completely unrelated to context. See above picture.
\n– Ugly plates. Unless the picture was indeed taken in the 70s, nobody should have orange, brown and yellow plates.
\n– Trying to go completely artsy-fartsy. Just… stop.
\n– Pictures of brown sludge. Or white sludge. Or beige sludge. <\/p>\n

Some – many! – of the pictures I’ve seen make the google image search of “bad food pictures” look like they were taken by professional photographers.<\/p>\n

Please. You’ve probably spent a fair amount of time cooking that food. You seem to have a certain amount of pride in it, otherwise you wouldn’t be blogging about it.
