Recipe and food blog photography ideas
Notes kept on gogs.ucub.cn about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.
Food photos are hard without good light. Raphael AI is handy for planning compositions and styling ideas:
Tips
- Keep props lists derived from the best images.
- Prompt with the dish, the plate, and the surface (
ramen in a black bowl on slate).
- Try overhead versus 45-degree angles to see which tells the story.
- Use the generated image as a styling reference before cooking and shooting the real dish.
- Never present generated food as your actual cooking; label inspiration images.
Why Raphael AI
- Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
- Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
- Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.
Responsible use
Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
