How to take food photos?

Food is the most common shooting object in our life, and their state is static, which requires photographers to carefully arrange shooting plans according to the characteristics of different kinds of ingredients.

Cuisine in different countries embodies different dietary cultural traditions and has its own characteristics. Chinese food pays attention to color, aroma and taste. Food is not only a simple taste feeling, but also a kind of spiritual enjoyment. If you want to shoot the exquisite food you see, you'd better use a macro lens to better present the details of the food, so that the picture will be fuller and the food will be more attractive.

When shooting, the color of food is very important, so the control of light is particularly important. Try not to use flash, because flash can easily affect the details of food, and the color is difficult to control.

Pay attention to the collocation of different styles and colors of food to ensure that the pictures are colorful, diverse, beautiful and delicious, attracting people's attention and arousing people's taste buds.

There are many kinds, shapes and colors of cakes. Different arrangements and combinations can be made according to their characteristics when shooting. If you use the placement tool, you can use regular chessboard composition to enhance the unified effect and rhythm of the picture. In addition, it is best to combine or unify the colors of cakes together, which can better ensure the artistic sense of the picture.

Chessboard composition

The chessboard layout highlights the attractive and delicious taste of the cake, and at the same time increases the rhythm and aesthetic feeling of the picture.

Use perspective effect

The columnar sushi has a perspective relationship with the chopsticks in the picture, and the picture has a strong sense of spatial layering by combining reality with reality.

Close shot

Shoot fresh prawns with a macro lens and decorate them with green leaves. The prawns are delicate in color and fresh in picture, which makes people drool.

Add water mist

The hot steamed bread is baked, and the dark background presents a white and ethereal aroma, which makes the steamed bread in the picture more attractive.

Match tableware

Roll up everyone's mixed noodles with a fork, as if to send them into the mouth. The bright colors of food, coupled with the temptation of forks, will greatly increase people's appetite.
