1, keep the background clean. Contrast the background with the color of food as much as possible, and don't use the background similar to the color of food. For example, strawberries on a red plate will make the theme unclear. In addition, the background should be clean. If you are not sure, use a white plate.

2, adjust the white balance! Adjust the white balance according to your food. For example, when shooting meat, it is best to use warm colors. The meat photographed under the blue fluorescent lamp environment must be quite terrible.

3, shoot with natural light! It's always good to shoot food with natural light at any time. You can choose to shoot by the sunny window during the day; At night, try to avoid using a flash light facing food as a light source. This light is unnatural. Even if you use a flash, you should also use the flash effect reflected from the ceiling or wall.

4, cut! Subdivision! In addition to the appearance of food, the internal texture and color of food are sometimes more attractive. For example, cutting cakes and showing different levels of food.

5. Use food temperature! This is the most easily overlooked concept. As long as all foods have the best edible temperature, many catering products often have "temperature dislocation", especially if the hot food is cooked-scalded as cold food, and the food that is barbecued and scalded is more suitable, the oil bubbles on the surface and the smoking effect around it.

Warm-warm, warm is a difficult visual temperature to grasp, and it is easy to be inaccurate. Generally suitable for soothing soups, with fine smoke and bubbles on the surface, showing a sticky texture. Cool-cool, suitable for some desserts, vegetables, sashimi, reflecting the cool "freshness". The typical technique is to add water droplets and smoke.

6, surface embellishment! Surface decoration includes pouring juice, brushing oil, particle decoration and line decoration. Pour the sauce, and pour the sauce on the surface of the food to increase appetite. It is best that the surface of the food itself is rough in order to form a sharp contrast with the sauce. The sauce itself is sticky and granular. Brush oil, brush oil on the surface of food to achieve a stronger reflective effect, and achieve the purpose of stimulating appetite by suggesting oil. Even fish, raw beef and other items can improve their luster and appetite through this method.

Granular embellishment, such as sesame seeds, peanuts, red and green peppers, minced garlic, fried crispy skin, shredded squid, etc. It is best to use granular red and yellow decorations to enhance appetite. In some greasy foods, vegetables and chopped green onion can be used instead. Line decoration, with onions, bean sprouts and other strips to decorate the food surface, Japanese cuisine is also squeezed into lines with sauce. Suitable for foods with single color and shape. It can make the picture look more "rich and informative", thus strengthening the appetite.

7. Highlight the color of food! Red is a very special color for food. Red and white texture, the most common food color, red. The red and white color of meat is represented by snowflake beef. Imitating or presenting this red and white texture can strengthen appetite to a certain extent, and it can also be regarded as a red surface ornament. Milky white, milky yellow, porridge, milk and other unique visual feelings, accompanied by graininess, stickiness and so on. White latex can be used instead in photography.

Can be decorated with lines, red and yellow particles to enhance appetite. Brown and red, barbecue and baked products are common, such as bread, cheese and roast suckling pig. From the long-term dietary experience, the food with a slightly burnt yellow taste is more crispy and delicious. In many food photography, there are cases where food is deliberately browned.

8, clever use of food background! Wood, the most broad-spectrum background treatment, has a wide range of uses and strong affinity. I don't know when to use it first. Including wooden floors, bamboo braids, laundry baskets, etc. Occasionally add spices such as pepper, pepper and star anise. Flame, try not to use monochrome, pure black background, it seems that there is no affinity.

Background flame is one of the most intuitive methods to guide appetite, mostly PS therapy. The wild background, dry graininess and golden color of staple foods such as wheat ears, pasta, potatoes and rice can easily set off the overall atmosphere. China people are also very familiar with the image of wheat ears, and it is easy to associate them with appetite.

9. Make good use of shooting tools! Using a tripod, food shooting is mostly done indoors, and the light is not very good. It is best to use a tripod. Closer, you can take a macro shot of the food on the plate, and closer to the target can show the finer parts of the food, which is more interesting and intriguing.

Shoot from all angles, try all angles, don't always condescend, look at food shooting like birds look at us. Left, right, left, right, up and down, change your perspective, you can also adjust and change the position of food.
