Selection of framework
The frame here refers to the horizontal and vertical of the photo frame, not the size of the sensor, which is our common horizontal, vertical and square frame.
A misunderstanding that needs to be corrected is that there is no difference between the horizontal frame and the vertical frame, but there is a difference in use or visual effect. For example, mullions are more suitable for magazine covers. Therefore, when shooting, you can choose the appropriate frame according to the purpose or visual effect of the photo, or you can shoot horizontally or vertically.
When shooting still life food, we can choose suitable horizontal, vertical and square frames according to our own preferences. From the point of view of photos, horizontal photos can create a stable and open feeling, giving people a sense of tranquility, balance and relaxation. Vertical frames can create a sense of depth and height to a greater extent, especially the photos of still life food, which will have more tension and urgency; As for box photos, they tend to be fresh and artistic, giving people a sense of freshness from composition.
shooting angle
For the composition of still life shooting, we will pay more attention to the shooting angle, which is mainly because the appearance of still life food is not big in general, which makes the shooting angle slightly different and the picture effect will change obviously.
Usually the shooting of still life food will choose the angle of looking down, looking up and looking up. Of course, in order to get some effects, we will also choose to shoot on still life food.
In addition, there is no single composition method for shooting any subject. Every good work is a combination of various composition methods, so don't stick to one composition method when shooting.
Choosing a vertical angle to shoot food from top to bottom can show the angular sushi surface more prominently under the influence of a clean desktop.
Head-up photography of food and regular arrangement of food can show the whole picture of food more comprehensively and meticulously, and the picture is more flexible and wonderful.
Diagonal composition
When shooting still life food, oblique composition is a common composition method. This method is simple and convenient to use. We only need to tilt the camera slightly for the right subject when shooting, and then we can tilt the main line in the scene.
The advantage of this is that it can avoid the rigidity caused by horizontal lines and vertical lines. The use of diagonal lines makes the lines in the picture more flexible and the photos more interesting, which makes people get a more relaxed and comfortable visual experience when watching.
When shooting delicious food, tilt the plate slightly to make the photo more flexible, and at the same time, let the viewer get a more relaxed and comfortable visual experience when enjoying it.
Choose colorful ingredients to shoot.
In still life photography, in addition to shooting small utensils and handicrafts with single color, you can also shoot brightly colored foods, such as fiery red peppers and colorful fruits.
When actually shooting these colorful foods, we need to know something about colors, such as contrast colors and complementary colors, so as to make the shooting more handy. Of course, after understanding and mastering this knowledge, when shooting colorful ingredients, you can also choose the best combination according to the color of the still life subject itself to make the photos more gorgeous and wonderful.
Add red and green embellishments to the food to enrich the picture.
Red tomatoes can bring very bright colors to the picture, so they are good ingredients for shooting.
