Many people like to take pictures of delicious food when they go out to play or cook at home, but the results are often not satisfactory, and they don't look particularly appetizing and aesthetic.

In fact, there are some fixed "routines" in food shooting, which are simple and practical.

Today, I would like to briefly introduce the skills of food shooting:

1. There are differences between the attributes of food itself. Although some foods are delicious, their visual effects are often not up to the standard of good-looking. In addition, there is also a "chain of disdain" between foods. Generally speaking, expensive, time-consuming and laborious food has its own "high-end" feeling.

Therefore, when we shoot delicious food, we should divide the primary and secondary according to the attributes of the food, and shoot relatively more valuable ingredients, while brightly colored, glossy and textured food is easier to attract attention and take good-looking pictures.

two。 Design is an essential step for professional food photographers, including lighting, tableware layout and so on.

Let's talk about the cloth light first. generally speaking, the warm color light or pure white light is easier to make the photo look better. The warm color light is usually matched with a darker background to highlight the delicious food. The light direction can choose side light, side shun light and so on with the top light.

White light generally needs to be matched with a pure light tone theme, such as a white plate with white or silver tableware, coupled with a light tablecloth, the food color can be brighter, and the light source can be natural light or artificially arranged light light. but need to do a kind of diffuse reflection feeling, try not to have a large area shadow.

Let's talk about tableware and other props. We all know that tableware needs matching, but tableware should also be matched with tables and tablecloths. It is recommended to use adjacent colors or the same color.

For most gourmet photography, these accessories are kept as simple as possible, while if the food is relatively monotonous in texture and color, we can choose props such as tableware with rich colors and patterns.

3. Shooting angle we have shared before that the shooting angle can be divided into overshoot, upside-down shooting, flat shooting and other angles. these angles are also applicable in food photography, and upside-down shooting may be used less.

First of all, talking about the overshoot, it is suitable for both a single food and a variety of food combinations. It is best to shoot vertically above the food in order to appear correct, and do not block the top light source to form a shadow; as the overshoot is not conducive to the display of three-dimensional sense and texture, we can choose this angle for small and colorful food.

Flat shooting can well reflect the texture and three-dimensional sense of food, which is very suitable for shooting a single food close-up, we need to pay attention to the light source, avoid backlighting as far as possible, and adjust the angle to choose side light shooting; in addition, we should pay attention to choose a simple background, the picture should not be affected by other elements.

Oblique angle shooting is between the overshoot and the shooting angle, which is the food shooting angle used by most people. When using this angle, we need to pay attention to keep the picture unified and concise, do not include too many elements, shooting closer can achieve better results.

4. Color mainly refers to the collocation of food and other colors, for food shooting, we should try to avoid cold tones in the picture, two different colors of food try not to appear in the same photo.

In the later adjustment, we should first ensure the normal exposure of the food itself, and secondly, we can put its color closer to a warm tone (except green vegetables, etc.), and appropriately increase the saturation.

5. Interaction for food shooting, we can also add some interactive elements, not only characters, but also plants, ingredients, accessories, etc., we can shoot the movements of the hands in the picture to enhance the interaction. Plants can also be added as decoration or color matching, toys and accessories that match the theme can be added to highlight the theme and enrich the content of the picture.

When showing the photos we have taken, we should also pay attention to the consistency of theme, color and other aspects between multiple photos to ensure that the content is more substantial.
