Food & Nutrition - Resource - Food Presentation & Photography

This PowerPoint presentation has been designed to give an introduction to food presentation and photography. There are 42 slides in total - some with text and some with images.There are also practical hints and tips to encourage your students to consider different presentation skills which should ultimately improve their photography. It was initially designed for GCSE students to help with their NEA coursework but we now use it with students from Year 7-9 to document their practical work. The slides can also be printed out, laminated and displayed individually around your classroom.

We have a ‘Look what we made’ washing line in our food room which students love contributing to - we swap the photos round termly and offer merits to encourage participation!
