1. Undercook your food. As food cooks, it loses moisture and shrinks as it cools.
2. If you can afford it, buy two of what you're shooting.
3. Make sure your prep is meticulous. Get rid of anything wilted, old or unsightly. Cut, chop and slice precisely.
4. When designing a plate, consider colour (contrasting or complementary), texture and balance.
5. Create elevation and movement. Prop pieces up from the back to create definition.
