Menus and leaflets are great, but they can lack excitement and engagement. Why not try a slideshow presentation for your catering, restaurant or hospitality business instead?

Here are three quick tips for when you're putting together your slideshow:

• When photographing or filming your food, remember to keep surfaces clean and clutter free.
• Shoot your content from different angles so all your food doesn't look 'samey', and be sure to read up on which compositions will work best for you.
• Not too bright, not too soft—get the lighting right for your food imagery.
