How to shoot food to look good?

1. Generally, we shoot food from three angles, namely 0, 45 and 90. Generally speaking, 0 degrees means shooting at a low angle or from the front of the food, 45 degrees means shooting at an oblique angle, so 90 degrees means shooting at a vertical angle directly above the food.

2.0, 45 and 90 respectively represent shallow depth of field, shallow depth of field and deep depth of field. Photography is most suitable for shooting a single object. For example, we shoot a small strawberry, a cherry and a piece of kiwi fruit on dessert. If your mobile phone has a large aperture, you can find a light source with a light spot in the background, such as candles and small scattered lights. The blur of this background highlights the characteristics of food. Another advantage of photography is that it can reflect the layering of food. Just like you shoot sandwiches, hamburgers and multi-layer cakes. Very suitable for zero-angle shooting.

3. Usually when shooting delicious food. 45 is the most commonly used. It is a very good shooting method to take into account the feeling of 0 and 90 at 45. Generally, 90-degree shooting is vertical shooting, so it is difficult to shoot the layering of food. Therefore, 0 shooting and 45 shooting are the most commonly used. But if you want to shoot flowers on coffee or patterns on cakes, you have to shoot them at 90 degrees vertically.

4. When shooting food, use flash as little as possible. The flash is too hard, which will make the food feel boring and you don't want to eat it at first sight. When shooting delicious food, you should try to choose a position close to the window and shoot with natural light. When shooting delicious food, you should try to choose a clean and tidy desktop for shooting. Observe whether there are unnecessary things on the desktop, such as napkins, mobile phones, etc., and it is not good to enter the screen.
