5 tips on how to make professional looking pictures with your phone
As many people have asked me if I always have my heavy camera with me when I make pictures, I thought I write a blog post about making great pictures without a DSLR camera. Phone Cameras have improved significantly and to be honest, I make 50% of my pictures with my phone and I only use my camera for “big” photoshoots.

This is a straight forward post. Setting a blog is not easy and requires a lot of effort! However anyone can do it. It is so worth doing it but the way getting to your perfect blog can be painful. My advice?
Do a blog because it is your passion! Your blog will never be successful if you just do it in order to get money. NEVER EVER! Content is king. Blog about topics that you are interested in and then second make your blog look nice and only if content and design are amazing, you can apply for Adsense, Gourmetads or other things available to you. So for now just skip the last thing and focus on the set up of your blog.
DESIGN
Next to great content what a food photography and lifestyle blog needs is a great Design. I am very picky when it comes to themes and designs. I was looking for a very clean design but still with a lot of features and it had to be a responsible design, which means it looks also food on phones and ipads etc. After scrolling through a #feltlike thousand themes ranging from “for free” up to “$300” I decided to start with the KINDRED THEME. It is a minimal and clean full-width blog design shows off your greatly good quality pictures is clearly structured with a lot of customizable options.
EDIT 11/04/15 : I switched my theme to the Foodie PRO as it allows me to even do further customization. I switched my theme to the Foodie PRO as it allows me to even do further customization. I think it is an amazingly beautiful template which allows ads and google analytics
Monetize your blog
Once you have your blog for a longer time and have a certain amount of people loving your blog and got familiar with all the features, widgets, plugins etc. (check out Youtube for things like that as they are many tutorials on topics like these) you can think about monetizing your blog. There are many different ways on how to monetize a blog but I recommend applying to Gourmetads or Adsense. If you have question on how to get accepted by these services feel free to ask. Also, check out my blogpost why gourmet ads and adsense wont accept you.

Why “FOODIE PRO” is the best theme for every food blogger
Hello bloggers and bloggers to-be
Today I like to give you a little insight about my current theme Foodie PRO.
When I started my blog I had one of these templates from wordpress for free and I really enjoyed changing it every single week to another one. When you start a blog it is fun to experiment and it is also really what you should do in order to learn all the features your theme offers. Don’t be afraid as it might be overwhelming at first, but soon you will be familiar with all the tools.
