Pictures of food are very common among stock photo agencies. There are also a lot of different types of food that can be photographed. Taking stock photos of food can be very profitable if you know what you are doing.
When taking food stock pictures be sure that you pay very careful attention to everything. Focus right, balance everything, etc. A good way to make food pictures look good is to make sure that the food is the brightest color. This works great for fruits and vegetables when, for example, there's a very bright lime green lime behind a colorless background. It'll make the fruit look much brighter and more delicious.
Which brings up another point --- make the food look extremely good and your photos will sell. People buy stock photos of food usually to accompany something about or related to food. Unless they were looking for "nasty food" they wouldn't want a picture of food that looks like it is rotting and twenty years old.
There are many ways to make food look tatsy. The most important factor is probably the lighting. Lighting can make food look good or bad. If you use the right hues you can turn a food to look very delicious.
The background can also be used very effectively when taking pictures of food. For example, if you have a plate of green vegetables rather than having a blank white background try a green background. Be sure the green background isn't the same color as the green vegetables and is slightly lighter.
