Ins style food photography skills are the best choice!

The basic things that food photography should pay attention to include: composition, light, angle, depth of field, desktop layout, props, and finally post-decoration.

First of all, light is one of the elements that make up a photo.

When shooting food, light is the best condition to stimulate appetite. Generally, the main requirements for shooting food are smooth light and side backlight. However, the front light is often dull compared with the side light, lacking some layering of the picture. If we can use these modeling lights properly, we can make the subject have a three-dimensional sense, make it outline a delicate outline, improve the texture of food, make people pleasing to the eye and drool.

Second, the temperature control of light can add icing on the cake to the photo.

Mastering the temperature change of light will also make the subject have different effects. A day's plan lies in the morning. The sunshine in the morning always makes people feel full of energy. The warm sunshine shines on the object, and everything is full of hope. When the afterglow of sunset hits the window in the evening, the food itself will reflect a soft and natural curve, soothing the tired body and mind after a hard day.

You know, the light angle in the morning and evening is the easiest to form bright and concise light, and the side backlight is the most common. Choose a well-lit shooting scene, such as a window or balcony. If the light is insufficient or overexposed, you can manually adjust the light, exposure and shadow highlights using the editor of your phone.

Third, the basic principles of composition.

The distinctive theme of shooting food is to highlight the main body of food. Generally, you need to follow the following composition principles:

?

① Horizontal composition

The most common and natural way of composition emphasizes the harmony and stability of objects on the horizontal line.

② Vertical composition

Combined with the angle of overhead shooting or overhead shooting, the picture is extended visually.

③ Central components

Putting the food theme in the center of the picture is more prominent. The traditional 3:2 format picture can be changed into a square of 1: 1 by post-cropping, and people's vision can be more concentrated by narrowing the space on both sides. Sometimes a theme is more concise.

④ Diagonal triangle composition

The main body of food is placed on the diagonal, which adds a little liveliness to the picture. In addition, making the mobile phone as close as possible to the subject can not only pay attention to realism, but also emphasize the details of food, which will be even more extraordinary. Nowadays, most mobile phones can capture the natural texture of food through macro effect. See the local effect of point 4 for details.

Fourth, different angles of shooting food reflect different themes.

Fifth, the choice of different overall shooting angles.

(1) Shoot down

Shooting food at a vertical angle can appear full and substantial, which is the most common, basic and safest shooting method. The food in the photo is perfectly presented and clearly visible.

?

② Side shot

Generally suitable for layered foods, such as hamburgers and sandwiches.

?

③ Oblique side shooting

It can capture the whole picture of food and avoid shadows.
