How can you travel without food? How can I take pictures without food? Food is our initial demand, and it is also something we must do when we go out to travel, and taking pictures is the best way to record good memories and travel.

So, how to take photos of food, make people feel good-looking, and make people who have never eaten it feel delicious? Then, next, Bian Xiao will help you sort out this skill of taking delicious food!

1, don't fill the plate too full.

Those restaurants may be well aware of this. Every time they go out to eat, they will see an oversized plate, and then the edible part in it will be thrown away. That's exquisite, but there is no denying that it will be beautiful and suitable for taking pictures.

Students who like to shoot minimalism can understand that the negative space in the picture can help us highlight the main body, although eating out may only feel that the store is too unrealistic.

Step 2 look for color contrast

In our article on color composition, we have analyzed the application of complementary colors in detail. Complementary colors in the picture can form color contrast, and contrast can become the focus of the picture.

Minimalism is also one of the frequently used themes in modern food photography. Influenced by the simple shooting method of electronic products, solid color background is often used to highlight the color of food itself when shooting food.

For example, light-colored food with a dark background will appear energetic and make the picture more attractive visually.

3. Simple tableware

Beautiful tableware itself can become one of the elements of the picture, but too prominent tableware may also usurp the role of the owner and reduce the visual impact of food. On the other hand, solid color plates and simple tableware can make food attract the audience's full attention, and can also achieve the effect of highlighting the main body.

Step 4 pay attention to composition

Not only food photography, but also composition is very important in all shooting forms. The main purpose of composition is to establish a guiding mode, through which the audience can enter your shooting theme.

For this form of food photography, composition is actually very simple, because we can freely arrange picture elements according to our own ideas, and use various props to create lines and pictures in food photography, and the ultimate goal of all this must be to guide the viewer's line of sight to the food itself.

5. Shoot from all angles.

Another angle can improve our food photography. We can choose different angles according to different kinds of food. For example, we can be close to the shooting details of Chinese food, or we can shoot vertically from top to bottom to get the whole picture of a plate of food.

For layered foods such as hamburgers or sandwiches, we can shoot them from the side, and when shooting drinks, we can shoot them from

Shoot at a 45-degree angle. In the process of shooting, you should also try several times to find your favorite shooting angle.

Learn these skills, and I believe you can take very good-looking food photos even without a powerful camera. Try again when you learn it!
