For food photography, many food shooters love using a small F-stop, as it allows for selected focus and helps to direct the viewer's attention to the food. The smaller the F-stop number, the smaller the depth of field, and the larger the F-stop number, the larger the depth of field. If you are shooting a huge table full of food, an F-stop around 16 can be used to get as much of the food in focus as possible. For overhead shots, an F-stop around F8 or F11 can be used, and if there are really tall items, F16 might even be used.
