Not only should you be able to eat, but you should also be able to eat.

More importantly, you have to be able to shoot and eat.

Under the influence of various food gods in Ins,

Of course, I am also constantly improving my food photography.

Photos like this may be beaten up by the chef.

It has rarely appeared in our circle of friends.

But obviously, many times, the menu-level food photos of food stalls can't meet the needs we share on social networks.

After all, everyone else sends it like this.

How to shoot delicious food?

Light distribution, CD settings, parameters

But after studying countless tutorials,

Is the photo taken still different from that taken by the photographer?

Throw away your white porcelain plate.

I think nothing is right. Maybe there is something wrong with your plate. The white porcelain plate is difficult to control, it looks clean and tidy, but it lacks texture.

In addition, the exposure is also difficult to control, often when the food is still dark, the plate is already bright and blind.

Western food likes to use big white porcelain plates, and the plates are only placed in the middle, which looks very classy. But there is a problem with shooting this kind of thing: blank space will be difficult to deal with.

If you want to shoot a big dish, you can only use close-ups, so the existence of a big white plate is particularly embarrassing. ...

* * Choose textured tableware * *

You can choose containers made of pottery, stone, wood and metal. These materials are very textured in color, texture and texture.

With a gray stone bowl filled with soup, the picture is filled with cold and ancient style in an instant. Stone tableware and wooden tableware are the most commonly used in Japanese food photography, and they can be combined at will without being abrupt.

In particular, the surface of wooden and stone containers will produce soft and delicate diffuse reflection, which will not affect the exposure and will not easily compete with the food subject.

Japanese wooden tableware is also a big category. It is also excellent to put a few sushi, or just a few washed brightly colored fruits.

This simple dark gray slate is suitable for matching with colorful ingredients, and the texture and color of the bottom background should be contrasted with the food to set off the effect.

Wooden trays with handles are widely used in food photography. Toast cake, roast chicken and grilled fish are all suitable. Wood texture fills the gap in composition. Soft colors make this container very versatile.

The choice and collocation of tableware is particularly important for the visual relationship between primary and secondary. Tableware such as knives and forks can enrich and adjust the picture.

These things are piled on a treasure … search for medieval (metal) tableware, wooden bowls, Japanese style, coarse pottery dishes … there will be a lot of goods, the appearance is basically good, but the quality is uneven, and some stores sell them a little more expensive.

* * The texture is better after old use * *

This kind of tableware can be used not only for posing, but also for cooking and dining at ordinary times, and it is not afraid of being dirty or old. A few traces of use (such as oil stains, fireworks, barbecue marks, etc.). ) not only does it not affect the shooting effect, but it can make the plate more textured in the photo.

There are still all kinds of oil stains on the pot, the edge of the pot is brown, and even the handle has many traces of use; The surface of metal tableware is slightly worn, with only weak light, but the overall picture is very harmonious, with good life breath and visual effect.

Especially western-style retro metal tableware, a little scratch can show the beauty of the old days.

The only thing to note is that there can be no stains and bumps on porcelain. They must be kept clean at all times. If you buy warm-hearted porcelain tableware, you'd better take it out when posing.

And be sure to wipe it thoroughly before shooting.

Finally, Amway took a wave of photos and forced the tableware to explode! !

This is definitely the ultimate dream of a photographer! !
