Food reels win when visuals feel close, warm, and satisfying. These templates are optimized for vertical 9:16 clips with minimal motion, clean composition, and lighting that makes textures look real.
Food Visual Styles
- Macro close-up (texture, steam, drip).
- Overhead shot (clean layout, ingredient focus).
- Slow-motion pour or drop (satisfying reveals).
- Warm lifestyle lighting (cozy, inviting mood).
