The best way to travel.
So, how do you take food photos that make people feel good-looking and make people who don’t eat feel delicious? Then, next, the editor will help you sort out the techniques for taking food photos! 1. Don’t take photos of food.
Restaurants that have a plate that is too full may be well aware of this. Every time you go out to eat, you will see them serving a super big plate, and then only a few of the edible parts. That is called exquisite, but it is undeniable.
This will look great and be great for taking photos.
Students who like minimalist photography can understand that the negative space in the picture can help us highlight the subject more clearly, although when eating out, the store may feel unrealistic.
2. Look for color contrast. Our article on color composition has analyzed the use of complementary colors in detail. Complementary colors in a picture can form color contrast, and contrast can become the focus of a picture.
In modern food photography, minimalism is also one of the themes that is often used. Influenced by the simple method of photographing electronic products, solid color backgrounds are often used when photographing food to highlight the color of the food itself.
For example, the combination of light-colored food and dark background will look very dynamic and make the picture more visually appealing.
3. Simple tableware Beautiful tableware itself can become one of the elements of the picture, but tableware that is too prominent may take over the focus and reduce the visual impact of the food.
On the other hand, solid color plates and simple tableware can allow the food to attract the audience's full attention and also achieve the effect of highlighting the main subject.
4. Pay attention to composition. Not only in food photography, composition is very important in all forms of shooting. The main purpose of composition is to establish a guiding mode through which the viewer can enter the subject of your shooting.

For food photography, the composition is actually very simple, because we can freely arrange the picture elements according to our own ideas, and use various props to create lines and frames in food photography, and the ultimate goal of all this must be to
The viewer's eye is directed to the food itself.
5. Shoot from various angles. Changing the angle can improve our food photography. We can choose different angles according to different food types. For example, for Chinese food, we can get closer to shoot details, or we can shoot vertically from top to bottom.
To take a complete picture of a plate of food.
For stacked food such as burgers or sandwiches, we can shoot from the side. When shooting drinks, we can shoot from a 45° angle.
We should also try several times during the shooting process to find the shooting angle we like.
