1/8 1. When taking a food panorama, pay attention to the background, the placement and overall matching of tableware.
When shooting a panoramic view of food, we need to grasp the overall situation and no longer be limited to a certain food. At this time, we not only need to find a good angle, but also pay attention to the background, the placement of tableware and the overall appearance.
A match.
Even if you don't need to highlight a key point, find a theme.
Then according to the placement and matching of tableware, highlight the significance of your food panorama.
2/8 2. When taking pictures of food, you must decorate and match the food you take.
It's like taking pictures of beautiful women. You have to put beautiful clothes on the beautiful women, and the beautiful women in the photo will become more beautiful.
The same is true for shooting food. Although it is in good condition, it must be decorated and matched appropriately, including other color decorations or tableware choices.
Especially in terms of color, choosing other colors of side dishes to modify will make the food you photograph more attractive and more appetizing.
3/83. When taking pictures of food, choose appropriate tableware according to the food you are photographing.
In food pictures, tableware is a very important presence.
Because a suitable tableware can not only make people's eyes brighter, but also make people want to conquer the food.
This is why when we go to restaurants, they like to use a variety of tableware to serve us.
Therefore, if conditions permit, it is best to choose different plating utensils for different foods that are more suitable for you to make the food pictures unique.
4/8 4. When taking pictures of food, you must pay attention to the placement details of the food being photographed.
Just like when we eat in a Western restaurant, no matter how big or small the portion is, the presentation is very particular.
First of all, it has to look good, and then you will think about whether it tastes good.
Therefore, if we also want to take a high-standard food picture, then when placing the food, we must pay attention to every detail of the plate arrangement, decorate and match it well before shooting, I believe you will be able to take a good picture
works come out.
5/85. When taking food pictures, be sure to choose a time with good lighting.
Because we are not professional photographers after all, we can know how to light the photos so that the pictures will look good.
Without such conditions, we can only create conditions ourselves and use natural light to shoot good results.
Generally, the effect is better when the sun is shining after 9 a.m. and before 4 or 5 p.m.
Therefore, when taking pictures of food, try to avoid rainy days and shooting at night, otherwise retouching the pictures later will not help.
6/8 Six, when taking pictures of food, choose a shooting angle that is suitable to highlight the food.
Most people like to shoot at a 45-degree angle, so that the food and tableware present a good proportion in the picture.
If the angle is not chosen well, many disadvantages will be exposed, such as the uncoordinated proportions of tableware and food.
Therefore, when the light permits, it is still a good idea to choose such an oblique shooting angle.
In this way, the tempting side of food can be vividly displayed.
7/87. When taking pictures of food, you must know how to choose the right time to take pictures.
Some foods need to highlight their characteristics to make people more appetizing.
For example, the steamed buns in the picture below were photographed in the heat. When you look at them, you will feel that the steamed buns are piping hot and must be delicious.
If you take pictures after the heat has dissipated, people will not have such associations.
Therefore, for special delicacies, when shooting, you must know and master the timing when they can be photographed.
8/88. When photographing food, if you really can’t find a shooting angle, overhead photography is a good choice.
I believe that many people, like me, choose to take overhead shots most of the time when they don’t know these food photography techniques.
An overhead shot also shows a panoramic view of the food. As long as the background is good and everything else is well decorated, an overhead shot of the food is the least likely way to go wrong.
However, from the viewing effect, I still feel that shooting from other angles would be better. This is just the most basic and conservative shooting method.
