When operating self-media, it depends on whether you are careful or not. If you are serious about it, if you want to make it unique and continue to do it for a long time, many pictures are taken by self-media people themselves.

The cost of photographing gourmet food is relatively low. You don’t need a professional camera, studio or lighting. You can take a photo of your own dining table, tableware, and lighting by yourself. The shooting efficiency of exquisite local close-up food photos is much higher than that of landscapes, portraits, documentaries and other subjects, and the production rate is also very high. The key depends on your creativity and grasp of food, ingredients, food culture, etc.

In fact, as long as you insist on operating self-media originals for a long time, these photos are not taken in vain. As you gradually develop your own style, you can consider selling the photos to photo libraries for commercial use. Of course, you can also take on some jobs of photographing food and promoting food.

If you don’t plan to operate food self-media for a long time, then, for the same reason, you can also spend money to buy food photos from commercial photo libraries. There are many such photo libraries now.
