How to Enhance Food Photography with Claude
Enhance food photography with Claude and ToolRouter. Make food photos look professionally styled with richer colors and appetizing lighting.
Tool
Claude lets you describe the specific look you want — 'warm bistro candlelight', 'bright airy brunch', 'dark moody fine dining' — and iterate toward it, adjusting the enhancement direction based on how the output compares to your brand's visual tone.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the AI Art Studio tool:
- Share the food photo and describe the mood or restaurant style you are aiming for.
- Run ai-art-studio with the food_photo skill and your style direction.
- Ask Claude to assess whether the result matches the target mood — check warmth, shadow depth, and whether the food looks fresh rather than processed.
- Refine the style direction and re-run until the output is ready for menu or social use.
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the AI Art Studio tool
Use ai-art-studio to enhance this photo of a pasta dish for our restaurant's Instagram. We want warm, candlelit, Italian trattoria feel — rich colors, soft shadows, appetizing. Compare the before and after and tell me if the pasta looks natural or over-saturated.
Tips
- Describe the restaurant's atmosphere rather than technical parameters — 'cozy Sunday brunch' works better than 'increase saturation by 20%'.
- Ask Claude to check if garnishes and textures still look natural after enhancement.
- Use follow-up prompts to dial back if colors feel artificial without starting over.
