Recently, many people take a picture of foods at home or in restaurants, and upload the picture to a social networking service (SNS) to share it with friends. People want to take a delicious-looking picture of foods, but it is often difficult, because most of them have no idea how to take a delicious-looking picture. There are many photography techniques (e.g., composition, lighting, color, focus, etc.), and the techniques used to take a picture are different for different types of subjects. We solve this problem. In this paper, we pay attention to composition and develop a system to support the amateurs to take a delicious-looking picture of foods in a short time. Our target users are the amateurs of food photography and our target photographic subjects are foods on dishes.
