How to shoot beautiful dishes in the kitchen with a mobile phone

Many people like to take pictures of the food in front of them with their mobile phones or portable cameras. But do you often feel that your photos are not good enough? Stephen Hamilton, a food photographer who lives in Chicago, shared some tips on shooting food with his mobile phone in the video below. These technologies are very simple and easy to use, without complicated equipment, just a white napkin at hand.

To sum up, the skills introduced by Hamilton mainly include:

Look for bright and soft light Sunshine is the best. Avoid direct exposure to strong light, such as dining room lights overhead. Keep the background bright. Try to use some accessories, but keep the picture simple, fill the shadows with white paper, measure the light at different positions, find the best exposure value, and ensure the quality of highlights and shadows.

These technologies are not only applicable to mobile phones, but also to almost all digital cameras. In addition, I also remind everyone to keep the lens clean (mainly mobile phones) and find support when shooting to ensure that your hands will not shake.
