Food Photo of The Day By: @nicuguzzoni

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?

Yes, I have always been a foodie. Not only just because I like food itself but also because my sense of aesthetic has always brought me to cooking and producing pretty sweets or cakes.
I like everything: salty and sweet dishes. I prefer sweets.
Oh yes, of course. I really like photographing my food. It doesn’t happen just on instagram but also on a daily basis on snapchat. For example, today I was out for lunch with a couple of friends and as an istinct I photographed our plate of sushi and put it on snapchat.

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

You can recognize a good food photo by many particulals, such as the color and the dish itself. Also the perspective is very important. You can have a awesome-looking plate but if the perspective is wrong then it won’t look good at all.
But I think that the most important detail that needs to be taken into consideration is the composition.
The composition of the food in the photo is the most important thing because it gives the very first impression.

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

I would recommend the Osteria Francescana of Massimo Bottura because it’s the best restaurant in the world (seriously, it is). It is only thirty minutes away from my house. It’s really easy to reach it because of the strategic position (in the historic centre of Modena, an important city in Italy) and even though it is very expensive it is worth it for sure. It is an emotional trip into the world of flavours.

I was very inspired the day I took this picture and made this cake. It’s a vegan cacao cake , topped with hazelnut cream, frozen redberries and chopped pistacios. I love this picture because of the colors, the light and the composition. I also like the fact that you can see only a section of the cake: this creates movement.
I believe that also other people like it because it’s the photo with more likes.

In this photo I like the soft and pastel colors. I think that the browns and the yellow of the banana blend together in a good way. I just feel tranquility and appetite (of course) when I see this pictures. The day after I posted this picture I received many compliments by my friends and classmates.

I took this picture when I was in America. The place was called mellow mushroom and their pizza is delicious. Very different from our Italian pizza, but still tasty. I really like the colors and the composition.
I know that other people liked it because my friends put it in our school yearbook. There is a page with the best photos that students took during the school year and mine was one of the best six.
