The New Year is coming soon. I believe there are many friends who plan to take pictures of food? Below I have compiled the tips for taking pictures of food for your reference! Win with the details of the picture. In addition to taking pictures of the whole picture of the food, you can also occasionally take pictures of the food.

Starting with local details, such as a pile of coffee beans, you can find interesting patterns, textures and details, making the photo full of texture and touch, which is also a good way of expression.

Arrange the shooting environment. The simplest way to arrange the shooting environment is to keep the food plates as clean as possible.

Some professional photographers even use tweezers to pick up food to keep the plate clean. Although we can still use Photoshop to process it afterwards, why not spend a little effort and get it done on the spot, once and for all? Try a variety of styles, whether it is broken.

Biscuits, or slices of steak, natural and casual can be considered a photography theme style.

A unique style can attract everyone's attention, but remember not to rely too much on a certain shooting method, because once there are too many similar photos, they will appear to lack professionalism.

Change the background of the photo When photographing food, there are many ways to choose the background, such as changing plates, cutting boards or tabletops. The simplest way is to change a tablecloth.

A good background can instantly add points to your work, but remember not to let the background overwhelm the food itself.

Actively look for natural light. The first element of food photography is light (in fact, the first element is food).

When it comes to using light, beginners should not have too much psychological pressure, because many food photography works are shot with natural light.

It is recommended to practice with a single light source first, such as natural light coming from a window.

Try placing the plate close to the window and using natural light to illuminate one side of the subject to capture clear textures and details of the ingredients.

Clever use of artificial light sources If God is not kind to you and you want to take photos of food with rich textures, you can only use various artificial light sources to fill in the light.

When shooting with a mobile phone or entry-level camera, you can use a desk lamp or floor lamp next to the dining table.

If the light can be moved appropriately, moving the light to the top of the food will create a soft and natural effect.

For advanced food photography enthusiasts, try using off-camera flash and adding an external diffuser to create a more ideal lighting effect.

Flexibly change the shooting angle. Most people are accustomed to composing photos at a fixed angle because it saves effort.

But in fact, we can try shooting and composition from different angles. On the one hand, it can improve the richness of the image, and on the other hand, we can also find more ideal combinations of scenery.

Especially when the photos you take are to be posted to Moments, creative composition will definitely get more likes and comments.

Create a virtual-real contrast effect. Shallow depth-of-field photos under a large aperture are very three-dimensional. When shooting with a mobile phone or entry-level camera, you need to use the lens as close as possible to the food and keep the food as far away from the background as possible to achieve the effect of solid front and virtual behind.

When shooting with a more professional camera, you also need to have certain shooting skills, because a too large aperture setting will cause the depth of field to be too shallow, making it impossible to correctly distinguish the outline and shape of the food, which will ruin a good photo.
