Food photographs are often considered an
important aid in assessment of dietary intakes.
As part of a project for development of
Pakistani Food Photograph Atlas (PFA),
photographs of a large number of foods in
various portion sizes had been taken few years
back by one of the authors. The work was
halted for some reasons and before resumption
of the task it was considered necessary to
evaluate the usefulness of available
photographs for preparation of PFA. The
purpose of this study was thus to identify the
food items needed for Pakistani Food Atlas and
the extent to which the available photographs
fulfill that need. Determination of number and
kind of food photographs required for the food
photographic atlas, was done through a sample
population survey of frequency of food intake.
Available photographs were evaluation in
terms of fulfillment of need and representation
of real foods.
A total of 78 foods were identified as required,
photographs of 66 of those foods were
available. In general food photographs
represented the real foods (76-100% correct
answers) but in a few cases due to the low
quality of the pictures the subjects found it
difficult to identify either the food or its correct
quantity. Need for minimizing the list was
essential, it’s suggested to take at least four
portion photograph for each food ingredient,
which is lacking.
