Raise your hand if in the past 30 days you've hunched over a plate, tweaking filters here, adjusting warmth or structure there, all to create the perfect #foodgram. If you consider yourself a pro, you probably also stand on your chair to achieve the ever-popular overhead shot. All the while, your food goes cold and the temperament of your fellow diners grows colder.
Foodie, a free iOS and Android app with filters it says are optimized for food photography, wants to make taking stylish photos of food simple. While other photography editing apps - most notably Instagram and VSCO - can filter your photos to almost no end, Foodie is relatively basic. You can open the app, choose the aspect ratio (3:4 or 1:1), and decide if you want blurred edges or to use the flash before selecting one of the 26 filters and shooting away.
And important for you chair-standing, overhead-angle folk, when shooting in-app, a yellow bar flashes "top" to let you know when the camera is directly above your food. After snapping your shot, there is no further tinkering and no agonizing over the saturation or Lux levels; whether you like it or not, the filters do most of the work for you.
