Lead: Do you also take photos before eating? There is a popular saying now? Mobile phone first? , that is, after serving the food, I took a photo and sent a social network before moving chopsticks. Many people scoff at this and think it's a pathological condition. Is that true? Let's see what the photographer said.

taking pictures before meals is a mental illness?

I use my mobile phone less when I eat ... but I really use my camera!

I see people in Asia? Self-portrait? 、? Shooting food? With? Upload the network? In fact, the proportion is much higher than that in Europe and America that I am familiar with. Compared with Asia, Europe and the United States often enjoy the world outside the mobile phone, using their eyes as cameras and memories and life as updates of online communities. Speaking of this, I believe many people will agree and even denounce too many people who are addicted to the online world. But that's not my purpose. I have lived in the United States for a long time, and my later work often travels around the world. What is the most important thing I learned? Don't comment too soon, okay? And? Negative comparison and criticism are always trouble? . Used in food photography, the same is true of online sharing culture.

to photograph delicious food is to photograph happiness

I think it is more appropriate to photograph happiness than delicious food.

Our nation is rather reserved, and most of the time we dare to speak in the online world. At the same time, most of us live in a crowded and busy metropolis, but the most empty world is the online world. Assuming that the objective environment is different, we can't just look at the advantages of Europe and America.

why should I take photos before eating? It's simple! Because this meal makes that person happy.

why do you want to upload and share your photos? Because I want to interact with people and share happiness.

I shoot delicious food to share happiness

Is this showing off? To be honest, although Chinese people are not top rich, they can't afford a meal. Don't think too much. I don't think it's a show off to shoot delicious food, because most of them are not expensive.

I can't say whether this can represent most people's thoughts, but at least this is how I look at it. When friends are eating, I don't like watching people play with their mobile phones, but I will tell them directly that it is rare to go out for dinner together and update it when I get home (or I will upload XD)! When I see someone struggling to figure out how to shoot a delicious feeling, I will also explain the basic shooting rules to them.

In many cases, the purpose of taking photos is not to really want to shoot a work, but to leave something to remember the current feelings. At this time, photography becomes the reason for people's interaction, food becomes a * * * memory, and the Internet becomes a sharing tool. Whether abuse is entirely from the parties concerned, these hobbies and activities themselves have no good or evil.

people who shoot food don't want to shoot works but want to keep memories

Seriously, eating is not the point, everything is for getting together. Will anyone film people they don't like and unhappy parties? Everything goes without saying. Let's share a few photo techniques.

1. Only by making good use of angle and focal length can we have a richer composition.

2. when choosing a seat, consider the light source first, both for taking pictures of vegetables and friends. I will always sit opposite my wife, because I want to shoot her, and my wife will always be smooth.

3. Don't forget to take pictures of friends who have dinner together.

4. please share your photos on the internet after eating!

　5.Bon Appetit ! Have a good appetite! )

When shooting in a restaurant, I always pay attention to the position of the spot light.
