Food Photo of The Day By: @dinaosakue

1) Have you always been a foodie? Which area do you like best? Do you treat food as one of the artistic areas to practice your photography skills?

Food has always been a big part of my life. From family dinners to family reunions, food was always a part of celebrations in my family. I love all kinds of foods. I like to try different things. I love to photograph my food. I am by no means a professional photographer, but I am learning!

2) What makes a good food photo? What’s the most important detail for taking a good Instagram photo?

Taking the photo in the right light is important. You also must have a background that compliments the dishware you are using. White is always a good choice, it makes the food pop. You should tell a story about your food or describe why you love it!

3) Finally, share with our readers one of the must-visit eating places in your country/city, and why?

My must-visit eating place is Va De Vi in Walnut Creek, CA. They offer eclectic small plates and wine flights. They are one of the few spots that offer my favorite Rose wine, Miraval!

Everyday is a special food day so first I post the picture from the National Day Calendar and announce what the National Food of the Day is then I recreate that, sometimes with a twist! This photo is of my Thai Corn Fritters because it was National Fritters Day! The fritters are seasoned with ginger, lemongrass, Thai chili, Thai basil, cilantro, and sweet corn. Not only is my food beautiful, it’s delicious!
