Wash Fruits and Vegetables First

SUMMARY: Make food photos look better with glistening fruit and vegetables.

If you need to take photographs of fruits or vegetables, perhaps for stock photos, make sure you wash the food first. Not only is this hygienic, but it can help with the overall photograph. Don't completely dry the fruits and vegetables before taking a photo, as water has a glistening effect, making the food look fresher. You may also want to use a soft diffusing flash on the food to accentuate this effect.
