How to make food look better?

Food appears in front of us every day, in our bowls, magazines, TV and computer screens. Nowadays, more and more people love food, and food photography is becoming a trend. How can we make a mouth-watering food work? Here are some tips to share with you!

First of all, from the light, looking for the best light source.

There is no doubt about the role of light in photography. Food photography should not only highlight the freshness, deliciousness and mouth-watering, but also show the fluffy or delicate texture of food, which requires various considerations in scenery, collocation and lighting.

1, natural light source

Natural light shooting is a sharp weapon for food photography. When shooting, we should skillfully combine the intensity and flexibility of light to avoid shooting under strong light, otherwise it is easy to overexpose. Some vegetables and fruits are easy to produce shadows because of their irregular shapes, so more scattered light is used when shooting. The scattered soft light coming through the curtains will make the food more attractive; For foods with rough texture, such as whole wheat bread, the light should be soft and directional; For greasy food, partial main light and personalized auxiliary light should be used as much as possible when lighting; For translucent foods, such as frozen and drinks, it is particularly important to use contour light and backlight properly when shooting.
