On the matter of photos

Just a quick mention about photos and nutrition blogging. Just about every blog website will tell you that adding the right picture is a "big one" when it comes to writing an engaging blog. The right picture sets the scene and draws the reader in. If the reader can relate to your picture, they are more likely to read on!

When it comes to pictures, don't be tempted to copy from google images. You may be leading into all sorts of copyright issues. This is also true if you have found a picture associated with your recipe....hands off.

The best solution? Take you own picture. You may be a natural or could even look into finding a food photography course ....what a great goal for your CPD.

Or, if you are like me and not so artistic, you can buy images from websites such as i-stock photos or shutterstock. There are probably more stock photo companies to try. If anyone has any good experiences or tips to share, please comment.

And note, I've not put a photo on this blog. Shame on me.
