How can we make food look better?

As shown below, put the food vertically on the center line.

Note that it is best to distinguish the size of food before placing it.

In this way, people's eyes will be more focused.

Diagonal composition

As shown below, put it on the diagonal of the picture and focus it.

It's better to have a bigger object in front of you, so that you can have a visual level.

Horizontal line composition

As shown below, put the food horizontally, which can be sideways.

You can also put the food horizontally by yourself.

We assume that the subject only accounts for 3/4 of the whole photo.

And this 3/4 is not in the center of the photo.

Put three objects in the photo to enrich the picture while maintaining balance.

But the focus of the photo must be on the food you want to show.

So when is the best light in a day?

There must be natural light near the window (this lamp works every time)

Backlight shooting, for children's shoes traveling abroad,

Try to choose a window seat for lunch in the afternoon.

Clever use of paper towels: when the natural light intensity, use paper towels.

Let the light pass through the paper towel to produce a soft light effect.

When the light is weak, use paper towels to meet the sun, which has the function of supplementing the light.

? 03 Different shooting angles?

Besides paying attention to composition and light, you can also try shooting from different angles.

Light distribution

Light is the soul of photography, and it also applies to food.

?

Usually, it is best to put food by the window, shoot it with natural light, and then light it yourself.

?

The natural light on a sunny day is a little hard. It would be best if you had transparent white curtains.

It can soften the tough light on sunny days and make food more textured.

Due to diffuse reflection on cloudy days, the light is very soft at this time, so you can shoot directly.

?

If you order it yourself, you can order it with a desk lamp or the backlight of your mobile phone.

Put a white plastic bag or fresh-keeping bag in front of the light source to soften the light.

?

There is no fill light in this photo, so the front part is dark and the shadow is heavy.

Tip: When shooting with backlight or side backlight, you usually need to fill food with light. You can use white cardboard, mirrors, white cups, etc. Opposite to the direction of the light source. (Fill light can also reduce shadows)

Shooting background

The choice of background is an indispensable link.

The so-called clothes make the man, and the back of the meal. Without background, even the best food makes people lose their appetite.

?

Usually, the center method, diagonal method, S-type /C-type method and so on are used. Remember that it is not step by step, but improvisation.

shooting angle

Usually, three shooting angles, namely 0 degree (flat shooting), 45 degree (oblique shooting) and 90 degree (upward shooting), are used to shoot delicious food, each with its own advantages.

Among them, 90-degree overhead shooting is the favorite of many ins gourmets.

Other tips

Repeat an ingredient to deepen the feeling.

Add scenes and characters to food.

Make food full of vitality and more appetizing.

Add trinkets, such as magazines, notebooks, mobile phones, spoons and so on.
