What its rules say about promotion
Posts Must Be High-Quality Food Photography
All posts must be related to food photography. **Any user accounts that promote sexual images are not allowed here.** Low-effort images (poor lighting, bad plating, visible utensils, hands, or partially eaten food) will be removed. This includes blurred edges of the food or blurry portions of the image. This is not a dumping ground for r/food content - make an effort.
High-Quality Food Only
Submissions must showcase visually appealing, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented food. Simple or low-effort meals (e.g., plain breakfast cereal, frozen fish sticks on a plate, fast food in its packaging) are not allowed. Dishes should demonstrate effort in presentation, lighting, and composition. If in doubt, consider whether your submission could be featured in a professional food magazine or high-end restaurant menu.
