What you will get

A documentary-style shot of you in chef whites placing a garnish with tweezers on a plated dish, with steam, a warm pass light, blurred cooks behind you and a focused expression, with your face unchanged.

Why it works

Plating with tweezers is a focused, precise moment, which makes a candid chef shot believable. Warm pass light and steam add atmosphere, and blurred cooks behind show a working kitchen. A photo with your hands visible, as the tip says, helps the model.

Common mistake

Your hands look wrong, with extra fingers or a strange grip.

Fix: Start with a photo where your hands are visible and ask for “tweezers held naturally between thumb and fingers”. If it fails, regenerate.

Also watch for

The dish looks messy or unreal. Say what is on the plate, such as “a seared scallop, a puree dot and microgreens”. A named, simple dish usually comes out more cleanly.
The kitchen looks like a stock photo. Add small real touches like “a ticket rail, steel shelves and a towel tucked in the apron” and keep the background out of focus.

Try a variation: make a menu shot

Ask for “a close-up of the finished dish on the pass with my hands just leaving the frame”. It works for a restaurant page or a social post and the face is not the focus.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep my face and expression exactly the same. Make the plate simpler, the steam lighter and the cooks in the back more blurred.
