The napkin is doing too much
Series: Camera eats first

INSTAGRAM CAPTION
Sometimes the best food-styling decision is to let the napkin be a napkin. What harmless photo detail sends you into a redesign? #FoodPhotography

TIKTOK TITLE
The napkin is doing too much

TIKTOK CAPTION
The napkin started as a corner accent and ended as a tiny textile sculpture. #FoodPhotography

THREADS POST
I tried to casually place a napkin in a food photo and accidentally began origami training. The final styling choice was "napkin beside plate."

FIRST COMMENT
What tiny detail makes you retake an otherwise good photo?

STORY LINE
The napkin would like to go back to being a napkin.
