1, choose colorful food
Among the food photographed, the most easily photographed food is brightly colored food. Typical examples are: Japanese sushi, ordering food, western-style afternoon tea cake and so on. These are all brightly colored foods.
Colorful food display
During the shooting process, a plus 3T camera is always on ... Even in the case of high light ratio shooting, both the highlight position and the dark position can get a better level than ordinary photos, which can make the color of food more vivid and attractive. It is recommended that the mobile phone has HDR mode. Everything is open.
2. Leave the shooting picture blank appropriately.
After choosing the colorful food, the next thing to say is the shooting method.
When shooting food, we don't need to take the whole plate completely into the picture, but use appropriate cutting to make the picture more tense and beautiful. So when shooting delicious food, you don't need to fill in all the subjects. Proper white space can highlight the center of the photo, find the visual focus, and make the picture focus a lot.
One-third composition example
However, don't treat blank space as pure white. Blank space refers to shooting non-subject things in composition. Three-point composition is a good choice, often used in photography, design and other arts.

But when the picture is wonderful, it is inevitable that the hand will shake. Fortunately, there is a plus 3T support, and the cutting is just right, so that the food is divided into the third position and rubbed.
3. Subtraction shooting food is more effective.
When you leave blank, don't think about always taking everything at once. In shooting, less is more, which is also effective. Choosing subtraction to shoot food, through careful composition, can better express the "taste" of food.
Subtraction shooting food
Usually painting is addition and photography is subtraction. Try not to shoot anything that has nothing to do with food. However, it is not qualitative 100%. Proper collocation will help to make food photos more aesthetic and artistic, and give viewers more imagination, just like the photo below.
Proper collocation of food
At that time, this photo was taken in a dark environment, but fortunately, the 3T large aperture lens has a larger amount of light, which can improve the overall brightness of the picture and retain more dark details in low light.
4. Create a shallow depth of field at close range
Create a shallow depth of field at close range, and test the photographer's skills and the ability of mobile phones. This shooting technique of creating a shallow depth of field makes the subject more prominent and gives people a more professional feeling, creating a sense of presence in front of food.
The background is blurred and the subject is prominent.
Close-range macro imaging also tested the aperture size of the mobile phone. These two close-range photos have blurred the background with the aid of the aperture of 3T F2.0, which makes the main scene and the background in sharp contrast. If the phone has the option of manual focusing function, you can try zooming to the nearest shooting distance, and then move the phone to focus again. This is a good method.
5. Try shooting food from multiple angles.
It is also important to choose the angle when shooting food. The 45-degree angle is closer to the conventional shooting angle, which is suitable for some foods with a certain height and relatively three-dimensional.
45-degree side shot
Here I would also like to mention that in recent years, the international popular angle of shooting food-overhead shooting, overhead shooting food can better reflect the sense of modeling and modernity of food, and the degree of deformation is relatively small.

Multi-angle shooting
In multi-angle shooting, if the light is well matched, it can even be faked, and the output is comparable to that of SLR cameras. Therefore, trying to shoot food from multiple angles may be different.
6. Later professional retouching is essential.
In order to attract foodies more successfully and make food photos more attractive, remember to retouch the photos taken. One plus 3T built-in Netease LOFTCam can provide a variety of filter options, which is a free benefit.
Of course, if you want to try more different ways, you can consider using professional mobile phone retouching software such as VSCO, Gourmet Xiu Xiu and Gourmet to debug different effects. Generally speaking, brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness, white balance and blur are often used.
