1 . Sketch your idea 

It's a great idea for everyone to draw a rough sketch before clicking your creative photos .At least you have an overview of what you have to click.

2 . Props

props are  never out of stock. Take a look at your room and you can find thousands of props like pens, pencils, sketch pens( for childhood photo) dupatta and saree (for traditional food photo )and your dress trust me they are the best backdrop I always use my black t shirt😁 ' paper cuts, silhouette, food ingredients etc.

3. Shooting

Now you have props ,your model (food) camera and your ideas . So Lights camera and shoot !

4. Post processing

It is the most crucial step of my photos. It makes my zero photo a hero photo. I use PicsArt and Adobe lightroom. They are life savers.

a). First of all I crop the image .

b). Adjust the curve tool.

c). Then a little bit of changes in  brightness, saturation and contrast .

d). Add stickers like Bokeh, sparkles, stars, snowflakes etc. These adds life to your photos 

e). watermark :- protect your image with your watermark.

f). Final and last retouch with Adobe Lightroom( Free android version).

Hurray! you are done . You did a good job.
