Vertical composition

As shown in the figure below, put the food vertically on the center line.

Note that it is best to distinguish the size of the food before placing it,

This will make people's sight more focused.

Diagonal composition

As shown below, it will be placed on the diagonal of the picture and focused.

It is better to have a larger object in front, so as to have a visual level.

horizontal composition

as shown in the figure below, the food can be placed horizontally, which can be a horizontal plate,

or the food can be placed horizontally by yourself.

Let's imagine that the subject only accounts for 3/4 of the whole photo,

and this 3/4 is not in the center of the photo.

put three objects in the photo to enrich the picture and keep it balanced.

but the focus of the photo must be on the food you want to show.

so when is the best light in a day?

It must be natural light near the window (this light is always tried and tested)

For children's shoes traveling outside,

Try to choose a window seat when eating in the afternoon

Use paper towels skillfully: when the natural light is strong, use paper towels.

let the light pass through the paper towel to have a soft light effect.

when the light is weak, use a paper towel to meet the sunlight, which has the effect of supplementing the light.

? 3 Different shooting angles?

besides paying attention to composition and light, you can also try to shoot from different angles.

frontal shot

lateral shot

?

light distribution

light is the soul of photography, and it is also suitable for food.

?

usually, it is best to put the food near the window and shoot it with natural light, followed by lighting it yourself.

?

The natural light on sunny days is a little hard. It would be best if you have transparent white curtains.

It can soften the tough light on sunny days and make the food more textured.

On cloudy days, due to diffuse reflection, the light is very soft at this time, so just shoot directly.

?

If you do it yourself, you can use a desk lamp or a back light of your mobile phone to do it.

Put a white plastic bag or a fresh-keeping bag in front of the light source to soften the light.

?

(This photo has no fill light, so the front part is very dark and the shadow is very heavy)

Tips: When shooting with backlight or side backlight, you usually need to fill the light for the food. You can use white cardboard, mirrors, white cups, etc. in the opposite direction of the light source. (Fill light can also reduce shadows)

?

shooting background

the choice of background is an essential link.

as the saying goes, clothes make the man, and food is put on the back. Without a background, even the best food makes people lose their appetite.

?

The center method, diagonal method, S-type /C-type method and so on are usually used. Remember not to step by step, but to improvise.

shooting angle

three shooting angles, namely degree (flat shot), 45 degree (oblique shot) and 9 degree (overhead shot), are usually used to shoot food, each with its own advantages.

Among them, 9-degree overhead shooting is the favorite of many ins gourmet experts.

?

other tips

cut the whole food, from the outside to the inside, and make it real.

Repetition of a single ingredient, deepening the senses

Scenery of food, adding characters

Making food dynamic and more appetizing

Adding small ornaments, such as magazines, notebooks, mobile phones, spoons, etc.

The so-called "food is the most important thing for the people", I want to take a beautiful photo and send a ticket circle every time I have dinner, but when I find this photo < p

retouching software and camera with various filters,

But if it is complicated, its filter library is very large,

and corresponding filters can be added according to the characteristics of current food

.

First-time students need to set the watermark off first ~

Its usage method is also very simple, and both methods can be used-

1

You can shoot it immediately, and the second filter

You can put the filter on the food directly, you can also choose the important picture or the long picture, and you can also set the shooting method such as flash.

You can also record videos, which can also be recorded by directly setting the filter ~

For example, this crying kebab animation

For example, this picture on the left feels a little overexposed after setting the filter

At this time, we can make manual adjustments ourselves.

Manual adjustment includes basic image processing.

You can adjust the corresponding brightness, contrast, saturation, color and other information.

You can also add some blur and blur to make the picture look more delicious.

In addition, you can save the current filter and

apply it to other pictures.
