Here Are 7 Food Bloggers and Photographers to Follow on Social Media.

The global coronavirus outbreak has disrupted travel and countless daily activities. Having to cut back on going out, many people have been cooking more home meals for their families. From the huge movement of making home baked bread, to decorating intricate pastries, to trying new multicultural recipes, a considerable number of people have found solace in cooking and sharing recipes and photos of their edible creations with friends and family. It is evident that interest in new and exotic dishes, food bloggers, and food photographers has been on the rise, and one could say, they are having their moment. Here are 7 food photographers and bloggers on Instagram that we recommend to follow.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/bayarea.foodies/">Tim Cheung</a>

Tim Cheung, a <a href="https://bayareafoodies.com/">Bay Area foodie</a> studying computer science, started taking pictures of food on his phone in 2015. Noticing that people loved his insights on Instagram, he upgraded his equipment and started honing his photography and storytelling skills. Since then, he has become a successful food photographer with thousands of social media followers. Tim&rsquo;s bright photos &ldquo;make people hungry&rdquo; and are usually coupled with humor. &ldquo;I try to inject my personality in what I do,&rdquo; says Tim, &ldquo;humor can be therapeutic, especially now in times of COVID.&rdquo; Cheung is passionate about highlighting small restaurants - mom and pop joints, serving mouthwatering ethnic foods, mainly because &ldquo;they have important stories to tell and recipes that are passed down for generations.&rdquo; Tim&rsquo;s favorite foods to photograph are noodles. &ldquo;There are so many things you can do with a bowl of noodles,&rdquo; he laughs. According to Tim, before the pandemic, much of the food scene in the Bay Area was about restaurant type of food, dining experiences, and interior aesthetic. It is now shifting to aesthetic take-out, interesting foods for delivery, or comfort food made at home, as many people have developed a new cooking hobby.

Sydney-based Kera Wong moved to Australia from New Zealand only a few years ago. Since then, she has been a barista, a social media marketer and now a photographer. Wong specializes in food photography, including styling, lifestyle, cafe and restaurants, and flatlays, while generating engaging content. From cafes, coffee shops, and restaurants to fast food, casual and fine dining, and even food at home, Kera Wong&rsquo;s photography vision and unique, stylized images make foods pop, with clients raving about her work &ldquo;getting even better over time.&rdquo; Pivoting to food photography, Kera had to learn to tell a food story. While taking pictures of food at home, she is &ldquo;the cook, the recipe developer, the photographer, the food and interior stylist, and also the cleaner.&rdquo; Playing all of these roles is not easy, but Wong has become very good at it all, as we can see from her imagery. What&rsquo;s her passion? &ldquo;Dark, moody, intimate stories&rdquo; that draw viewers in.

It is Caroline&rsquo;s unique food photography style that leaves no one indifferent and makes her a must-follow inspiration for foodies and aspiring food photographers alike. When not in front of the screen editing photos, you can find Caroline &ldquo;jumping around with her camera or creating new recipes.&rdquo; In the last couple of years, her love for photography has helped her venture out beyond food and photograph people, couples and special events. She is the author of a Vegan German and Austrian cookbook, Vegane Heimatk&uuml;che.

Lim also offers workshops helping hone techniques needed to captivate viewers. This is how Lim describes exceptional food photography: &ldquo;it is not just about taking a shot of the dish that is in front of you, it is about strategically selecting and styling your food, using natural or artificial light, and editing your images to bring forth the colors and characteristics of the dish.&rdquo;
