3 food photography skills

Lead: What are the successful food photos like? The photos that must be taken before meals can only be regarded as a record of life, and the photos that really make you drool are considered as good food photos. In fact, it is very simple to take good food photos, as long as you pay attention to three points, light, picture and setting.

The first trick: light

Try to shoot with natural light. Natural light will make food look more natural and soft.

Using side light sources as much as possible can make the main body of food stand out. As shown in the figure below, the side light is on the left and the backlight is on the right. It can be clearly seen that the main body of the backlight is not prominent enough relative to the plane.

The second trick: texture, color and level.

The so-called texture is the details of food, and color matching is also extremely important in food photography. Pay attention to the collocation of cold and warm colors, which is layered and not too dull.

The photo on the right of the picture below will look a little messy, and sometimes it will look better if it is simpler.

If the color of food is single and biased towards one color, then try to add some other accessories to enrich the picture and attract the attention of the audience.

The third measure: set the plate

Leave more space and highlight "more" with "less".

A lot of blank space will make the subject stand out.

Or let the subject deviate to one side of the picture, and highlight the subject while satisfying the richness of the picture.

In fact, taking pictures is very simple, and any kind of shooting can be easily handled.
