How to take food photos 1 Soft sunshine.

The quickest and easiest way to take beautiful photos is to use enough sunlight instead of direct illumination. For example, a table under an outdoor umbrella on a sunny day is a good shooting place.

Put the table near the window.

If there is no outdoor venue, or it is too cold, rainy and so on, then there is another way. You can have a window seat. Don't be shy. They're just for you.

3. Large aperture lens

Outdoor or window seats are only available during the day, but what if it is night and the sun has set? At this time, there is no good way for ordinary digital cameras, and a SLR camera that can change lenses is needed. At the same time, you need a large aperture lens, f/ 1.8 or f/2.8. If the aperture of the lens is less than f/4, it will be difficult.

4. Real-time view

The real-time view is a very useful function. Not only do you don't need to hold the camera on your face (which is always a bit inappropriate in high-end hotels), but you can also focus accurately manually, and autofocus may be problematic in low light environment.

5. Don't shoot from the eye height.

The best angle to shoot delicious food is about 10-40 degrees on the table. Don't shoot from eye level. All of us usually look at food from this height, so fresh angles can make photos more attractive.

approach

Many people like to shoot food with a wide-angle lens, but the effect is not attractive enough. In fact, what the audience wants to see is only the food itself, and there is no need for redundant prospects and backgrounds. Unless your focus is on the whole table, it's best to shoot close to the food.

7. Don't use the overhead flash.

Set-top box flash is the natural enemy of beautiful photos. Do not use the overhead flash unless there is an emergency and there is no other choice.

Finally, don't underestimate the post-editing software. Even if the photo is not ideal, it can be saved by the curve function. Having said that, it's not that good to shoot food.
