How to take pictures of cakes?

Under sufficient natural light, the picture can be brighter and more natural, and it can show the most original color of food.

The dining place is dim, so you need to take pictures with a large aperture, or ask your friends to use their mobile phones to help fill the light. Although it is certainly not as good as natural light, it still helps to improve the picture. However, there is a disadvantage that the built-in flash of the device is too bright, which leads to the picture being too white when shooting, and there may be exposure.

Second, find the right visual focus.

When there are many kinds of foods in the picture, we want to highlight one of them, so we should find a position with the strongest light, put the protagonist in a bright place and shoot. If the lens can capture the depth of field of the real foreground and the virtual background, it will make the picture more stereoscopic.

Third, beautiful tableware.

Tableware is a must for setting off food photos. Without good-looking or suitable tableware, it will affect the texture of the whole picture and even destroy the beautiful setting of this dish.

Fourth, the direction of light.

When taking pictures, we must pay attention to the direction of light. If the light is directed at the food, the picture will be too bright and the layering will be weakened. So we might as well move the food and try the effect of other light directions. In fact, the vision created by backlight or side light is also very good.

Five, clever use of props

In addition to tableware, props are equally important for food photography, such as napkins, tablecloths, tables, trays, plants and so on. Sometimes flowers, watches, computers and other daily necessities are used to set off this beautiful scenery.

Sixth, rich colors.

I believe everyone likes to shoot colorful things when shooting. Bright colors can make your picture not monotonous but also brighter.

Seven, right angle

If we are not satisfied with shooting from any angle, we can shoot from above. We saw a lot of delicious food photographed from above, which was very touching. Whether it is tableware, flower decoration or tablecloth on the dining table, it can make the picture look richer and more artistic, and let the audience have the impulse to join it.

Eight, enlarge the food

The appearance of food is not necessarily 360 degrees without dead angle, but we can achieve the desired effect through shooting, find the best lens feeling through 360-degree rotation, enlarge the shooting and achieve the perfect effect.

Nine, take things.

This can be said to be a very popular photography method in recent two years, suitable for shooting street snacks. I have specially shared relevant articles before, which is very fashionable.
