In fact, one answer to food photography is far from complete. I have many classifications of food photography, such as: , 45 and 9 three-point food photography; Shallow depth of field, deep depth of field food photography; Natural light, artificial light food photography and so on.

I'll talk about this problem from the most easily mastered three-point food photography of , 45 and 9.

The so-called three-point food photography of , 45 and 9 is actually a photography technique summarized from three common food shooting angles, where refers to low angle, 45 refers to oblique angle and 9 refers to vertical angle.

In fact, there is a corresponding relationship between the three factors and the depth of field: shallow depth of field, 45 shallow depth of field and 9 deep depth of field.

Since many people don't pat themselves there with a SLR when eating, I try to answer this question from the perspective of mobile phones and card machines.

p>—————————————— dividing line ————————————————————-

One: photography.

photography is most suitable for projecting a single object, such as the small cherry on the cake.

If the aperture of your mobile phone or card is large enough, you can look for the point light sources in the background. After being blurred, they can form a colorful aperture, which will add some dreamy colors to your food.

Another advantage of photography is that it can show the layering of food. What is the layering of food?

You can search for "hamburger", and you can see that almost all hamburgers are shot at an angle of -45, which is called the layering of food. If you shoot at 9, well, try it. (The oblique composition is used in the picture below, which sometimes works wonders, but it will give people a sense of insecurity. For example, in the picture below, you seem to feel that the upper hamburger is about to fall.

two: 45 photography.

This is the most commonly used and classic shooting angle.

45 has a sense of space (depth of field) of , a sense of hierarchy, and a sense of wholeness and overall situation of 9. It is a very good way to shoot food.

Under the golden angle of 45, its composition methods are also the most. Here I will introduce a few classics:

1. Simple composition:

This effect is very good and shooting is extremely simple.

key point: spread a white cloth near the window. why do you want to face the window? Because the light has a gradual change when you are near the window, it is not too hard to make the food lack texture.

If you put the object to be photographed on the white cloth, you can appropriately increase the exposure. By leaving the white space, it is easy to highlight the subject, and it looks fresh and elegant, and everyone likes it.

Of course, it doesn't have to be white cloth. Striped and colored ones are also good, but they must be clean, and the background can't be a distraction. Under this composition, the only thing that attracts people's visual focus is food.

the only point: the only thing that attracts people's visual focus is food.

2: rhythm composition.

In fact, Wen Jia has used this method. The so-called rhythmic composition is to make food show certain regularity and spaciousness, which makes people feel the beauty of rhythm.

The key of this composition: there is a contrast between food size and distance, and there should be a sense of space.

3: oblique composition.

The so-called oblique composition, the most classic one is chopsticks, and of course there is a straw. It enters from outside the picture through chopsticks and other objects, which has the functions of breaking the picture, activating the picture and bringing it into the picture.

4: seek differences from the same, highlight the main body, vivid picture.

This is very simple. Just put two pictures and everyone will know.

three: 9 photography.

I think this composition is the most difficult. It is not easy to grasp the picture. It is easy to lose the sense of hierarchy at 9 degrees, and it is even more difficult to combine when there are many kinds of food, so it is difficult to shoot well.

In the case of a single object, it's actually very easy to shoot. Referring to the previous simple composition, copying it is basically OK.

When there are many foods, if you want to take a good-looking picture, you need special modeling, otherwise it may be ugly. But if you don't have special food photography, you shouldn't set the food specially when you eat, right? So I won't elaborate on it.

Finally, some tips:

1: Steaming food often makes people more appetizing (don't mention ice cream to me, asshole), so, you know.

2: use less flash, it's too hard.

3: shoot by the window, you can do it.

4: Choose good cold and warm colors, with warm colors corresponding to hot food and cold colors corresponding to cold food.

5: It's good to use white paper as a reflective material to fill the light. White paper is everywhere, right?

6. Do subtraction well, and eliminate the factors that interfere with the sight and affect the aesthetic feeling.
