What do professional food photos look like in the eyes of photographers?
Xia Shu believes that food pays attention to color, fragrance and taste. Similarly, taking pictures is the same. A professional food photo should be complete in color, shape and meaning.
1, color. Why are Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine so attractive? Because color can arouse everyone's appetite. Similarly, photographers should also pay attention to the use of light when taking food photos. When shooting, the light of the scene needs to be soft first, and at the same time, the light needs to stimulate people's desires: such as yellow, such as red. Therefore, if you want to take food photos on the spot, you can prepare lamps with specific colors when shooting, which can set off the atmosphere of the scene.
2. shape. If you want to take more attractive photos, you should at least be attractive and arouse the appetite of the audience, so in order to ensure bright colors, the chef can't completely cook the dishes. When the food is put on the plate, you need to leave enough white space, which will make the dishes look more exquisite and have a calm feeling. After the food is placed, some carefully selected tableware can be placed around the plate to enhance the richness of the picture.
3. Italy Pursuing artistic conception is the key to winning food photography. Meaning includes many aspects, such as composition, theme, light, atmosphere (props) and so on. I've seen people cooking with liquid nitrogen in magazines before, and when it is released, it will soon turn into gas, so if you cook with liquid nitrogen, the overall effect will be more dreamy.
