I started out on food photography and was absolute gash at it, and photography in general. Now I'm fairly decent I'd like to go back and do it properly

Disclaimer aside, the key to food is the same as product, macro and flower photography- good light and composition while giving context
>Natural light always unless you have a good studio and know what you're doing
>Less is more
>Learn how to and why to frame
>All the usual product stuff like under exposure, hero shot, etc

There's an NYC guy on Youtube giving a talk on food, I think maybe a B&H vid. Doesn't give any practical advice but it's a great overview and his shots are very easy to steal, good for getting started

used to do a lot of food and drink. this video covers a great deal. no overhead lights, diffused led light from the side, reflector parallel to fill in shadows. stopped because it was mind numbingly boring. A large amount of it is light combined with a decent looking backdrop, textured wood etc. can be picked up pretty cheap

Can you make a living out of food photography?

How easy would you say it is compared to other types of photography? (social, weddings, fashion...)

How do you charge your clients? Time taken during a session, number of photos, fixed ammount?

Quick tips for someone that would like to get into food photography?

I dont have a studio and a good background is hard as shit to find so I just get really close to show the texture of the food
