Take this tip with a grain of salt: Do not eat too much or what you cannot stomach, but to photograph your subject, you need to know it well. Go to markets, grow vegetables, handle your ingredients, try new dishes, and of course, learn how to cook.
Use a Macro Lens
Food can be photographed in many ways, from many perspectives, but close-ups and sharp details will always be necessary, and a true 1:1 macro lens is not only a useful addition to your kit, but one that will foster experimentation, enable shallow depth of field focusing, and really force you to dig into the textures and details of the foods you shoot.
Natural Light
This tip fits in with the “easy” part of the headline, but using natural daylight for your food photography is a good idea not only because it’s easier than artificial light, but because it presents food in a familiar and appetizing way. Of course, easier is a relative idea, because you can control artificial light in a manner that you cannot with the sun, but using sunlight through a window in your kitchen is how many great food photographers got their start and continue to work. Also, with diffusers and other modifiers, outdoor areas around your house can become a studio without the expenses of a strobe or LED kit.
