Lead: What is a successful food photo like? The photos that must be taken before meals can only be regarded as a record of life, and the photos that really make you look drooling can be regarded as good food photos. In fact, it is very simple to take good food photos, as long as you pay attention to three points, light, picture and plate setting.

the first trick: light

shoot with natural light as much as possible. Natural light will make food look more natural and soft.

Try to use side light sources, which can make the main body of food stand out. As shown in the figure below, the side light is on the left and the backlight is on the right. It can be clearly seen that the main body of the backlight is not prominent enough compared with the plane.

The second trick: texture, color and hierarchy

The so-called texture is the details of food, and the color matching is also extremely important in food photography. Pay attention to the matching of cold and warm colors, and there is a sense of hierarchy, not too flat.

The photos on the right in the picture below will look a little messy, and sometimes it will look better if it is simple.

If the color of food is single and biased towards one tone, you should try to add some other accessories to enrich the picture and attract the audience's attention.

the third measure: set the plate

leave more space to highlight "more" with "less".

a lot of blank space will make the subject stand out.

Or let the subject lean to one side of the screen to highlight the subject while satisfying the richness of the screen.

actually, taking pictures is very simple, and you can handle any kind of shooting with ease.
