friends!

I am your uncle!

In the eyes of a photographer, what does a professional food photo look like?

Uncle Xia believes that food should be all about color, aroma and taste.

The same goes for taking photos. A professional food photo must be complete in color, shape, and meaning.

1. Color.

Why Sichuan and Hunan cuisine are so tempting is because the color can arouse everyone's appetite.

Similarly, photographers should also pay attention to the use of light when taking food photos.

When shooting, the light at the scene needs to be soft first, and at the same time, the light needs to be able to stimulate people's desires: such as yellow, such as red.

Therefore, if you want to take better photos of food, you can prepare lamps of specific colors when shooting, which can enhance the atmosphere of the scene.

2. Shape.

If you want to take more attractive photos, you must at least be attractive in appearance and arouse the audience's appetite. Therefore, in order to ensure the bright color, the chef cannot fully cook the dishes.

You need to reserve enough white space when placing food on the plate, so that the dishes will appear more delicate and have a calm feeling.

After the food is placed, some carefully selected tableware can be placed around the plate to enhance the richness of the picture.

3. Meaning.

The pursuit of artistic conception is the key to success in food photography.

Meaning includes many aspects, such as: composition, subject matter, light, atmosphere (props), etc.

I have seen liquid nitrogen used to cook food in magazines before. When liquid nitrogen is released, it will quickly turn into gas. Therefore, if you take photos of liquid nitrogen cooking while cooking, the overall effect will be more mysterious.
