The face new food makes

The most entertaining series in the collection

The face at the first spoonful of each new food is a sequence that builds itself and gets a laugh at any family gathering ten years later. It takes no photographic skill at all, only consistency.

How to make it work

• One food per photo, and write the name in the description. Without the name, the series is just funny faces.
• Shoot in the first second. The face goes quickly and the second spoonful is already no fun.
• Let the jar or the fruit show in the frame, so you can tell what it was.
• Burst mode: you pick the best one afterwards, and it is almost never the first.

One photo a week is plenty

You do not have to record everything. One new food a week, over a few months, already makes a great sequence and does not turn mealtimes into a photo shoot.

Watch the mood at the table

If the phone is getting in the way of the meal, put it away. Tomorrow's face is as good as today's, and eating with a camera in your face wears anyone down.
