For experienced foodies, it is as satisfying as eating a delicious meal to take a well-basked photo, which restores the taste of food through pixels and records the imprint of food. Shooting food with mobile phones has become a part of many people's daily life. In view of the characteristics of low popularization difficulty and low learning cost of mobile phone photography, consumers can easily get started, and it is a trend for mobile phones to shoot food beyond SLR. In fact, the ability to take pictures of food and mobile phones is also particular.

1. Choose brightly colored foods

Among the foods photographed, brightly colored foods are the easiest to photograph. Typical examples are: Japanese-style sushi, ordered food, western-style afternoon tea cakes, etc. These are all brightly colored foods.

Showing colorful food

During the shooting process, turn on a plus 3T camera all the time ... Even in the case of high light ratio, you can get a better level than ordinary photos regardless of highlights and dark positions, which can make the food more colorful and attractive. It is recommended to turn on the mobile phone with HDR mode.

2. Leave the shooting picture blank properly

After choosing the colorful food, the next thing to talk about is the shooting method.

when shooting food, we don't need to take the whole plate into the picture completely, but use appropriate cutting to make the picture more tense and beautiful. Therefore, when shooting food, you don't need to fill all the subjects. Proper blank space can highlight the center of the photo, find the visual focus and focus the picture a lot.

One-third composition example

However, don't treat blank space as pure white, and blank space refers to shooting things that are not the main body in composition. One-third composition is a good choice, which is often used in photography, design and other arts.

one plus 3T to shoot food

But it's hard to avoid shaking hands when the freeze-frame is wonderful. Fortunately, with the support of one plus 3T, the picture is just cut, so that the food is cut in one third position, so please rub it.

3. Subtraction photography is more effective.

When you leave blank, don't try to photograph everything at once. Less is more in shooting, which also works. Choose subtraction to shoot food, and through careful composition, you can better express the "taste" of food.

Subtractive photography of food

Generally speaking, painting is addition, but photography is subtraction. Try not to photograph anything unrelated to food. However, it is not 1% qualitative. Proper collocation is beneficial to make food photos more aesthetic and artistic, and give viewers more imagination, like the following photo.

Appropriate collocation of food

At that time, this photo was taken in a relatively dark environment. Fortunately, a 3T large aperture lens has a larger light input, which can improve the overall brightness of the picture and keep more dark details in weak light.

4. Create a shallow depth of field at close range

Create a shallow depth of field at close range, which tests the photographer's technique and the ability of the mobile phone. This shooting technique of creating a shallow depth of field makes the subject more prominent, and it also gives people a more professional feeling, creating an on-the-spot feeling that food is just around the corner.

Blurred background and prominent subject

Close-range macro imaging also tested the aperture size of the mobile phone. These two close-range photos realized the blur effect of the background with the aid of an F2. aperture of 3T, which made the main scene and the background form a strong contrast. If the mobile phone has the option of manual focusing function, it is a good method to try to zoom to the nearest shooting distance, and then move the mobile phone to compose and focus again.

5. Try to shoot food from multiple angles

It is also very important to choose the angle when shooting food. The 45-degree angle is closer to the conventional shooting angle, which is suitable for some food with a certain height and relatively three-dimensional.

45-degree side shot

It is also mentioned here that in recent years, the angle that is popular in the world to shoot food is overhead shot, which can better reflect the sense of modeling and modernity of food, and the degree of deformation is relatively small.

Looking down at the food

In the following photo, the missing part of the circle is made up by the intuition of the human mind to make the whole picture complete.

Multi-angle shooting

In multi-angle shooting, if you encounter good light coordination, you can even fake the truth and output a shooting effect comparable to that of a SLR camera. Therefore, trying to shoot food from multiple angles may be different.

6. Post-professional retouching is indispensable

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 filters to choose from, which is a free benefit.

Of course, if you want to try more different treatments, you can consider using professional mobile phone retouching software such as VSCO, Gourmet Xiu Xiu and Foodie to debug different effects. Generally speaking, brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness, white balance and blur are often used.
