There is a kind of travel that is aimed at "eating". China has a vast land and a wide variety of products, which has created different food cultures in different places... There was once a sentence printed in Shan Yatou's mind: "Dishes can only be eaten locally."
Eat, the food you eat outside this place will not taste like this..." The food of a place must contain a rich connotation, reflecting the nation, tradition and culture of a place.
Therefore, food will bring many photography themes to photographers.
A senior foodie, in addition to eating well when traveling, he also posts delicious food to his circle of friends.
It’s just delicacies that are full of color, flavor and taste. Because the photos are not expressive enough, when you post them in your circle of friends, you will receive complaints: “not delicious”, “just like that”... etc. There will always be feelings when facing "deliciousness" and not being able to take photos.
It’s a bit of a pity that Shan Yatou will share with you various tips on food photography so that you can bring back different photos from your travels.
In winter, I always think of eating hot delicacies, especially after going out in cold weather, the hot delicacies make people feel particularly warm.
When facing steaming food and eating warmly, how can we make the photos we take also make people feel the "warmth" of the food?
Today I will share some tips for photographing the most common “steamy” delicacies in winter, so that you can take photos of different “warm” delicacies.
Tips 1. "Steamy" food in winter makes "warmth" in food photography. Food should make people feel "warm", such as a cup of hot tea, a bowl of hot soup, a portion of Shao Shao, a bowl of noodles, and a plate of fire pit.
, you can feel the temperature when you put it on your mouth, but to make sure your eyes can also feel the temperature, the most direct way to express it is to add steamy scenes to the picture. When shooting, Guan Jian wants to capture the flavor of the food in time.
heat.
Tip 2: When capturing the "steamy" food in winter, you must pay attention to shooting when the food is hot enough. In order to increase the atmosphere of the scene, you can light incense or cigarettes when shooting to enhance the effect of the heat.
The heat captured in this photo will be more obvious.
Tip 3: No matter what composition method is adopted for shooting "steamy" food in winter, our shooting theme is: "steaming" food. We must pay attention to the ratio of food to hot food in the picture, and at the same time ensure that the heat rises smoothly.
Enough picture space to show. Tip 4. "Steamy" in winter. The heat is rising all the time when shooting food. If you want the picture to be vivid, it is not suitable to shoot from above (shoot from top to bottom).
Picture), because this cannot highlight the rise of the heat. Shooting at a lower position and angle will better show the shape of the heat. Tip 5. "Steamy" food photography can be photographed from every angle.
The food looks "steaming", but shooting with backlight (the light is opposite to the shooting direction) or side backlighting can better outline the brightness of the steam and show the artistic effect of the steam emitting from the food. When shooting from a backlighting or side backlighting angle.
, pay attention to using a pure dark background, because usually backlighting is best for expressing dark scenes on a dark background. The heat taken with a dark background has clear layers and vivid images, and the heat has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and space.
Pay attention to the dark background not to be too flashy, solid color is best, so that the picture will not be cluttered. Tip 6. Set the parameters for "steamy" food photography in winter. When shooting food, you should pay attention to four points.
The quality of the captured image: 1. The depth of field cannot be too shallow. 2. The shutter speed cannot be too slow. 3. The ISO should be lowered (not exceeding 400). 4. The camera should be set to continuous shooting mode to ensure that the gas in good shape is photographed.
Finally, I would like to add that when we travel, we can’t just focus on taking photos. Especially in winter, food should be eaten while it is hot. The real food is the delicious food that reaches your mouth. You can’t just look at the plum blossoms to quench your thirst. The most practical thing is to eat it.
Photography is fun and also a knowledge. Everyone is welcome to participate in improvement and discussion to improve the level of photography together.
