How to shoot jiaozi?

Let's start with Bao jiaozi.

No matter what kind of food it is, it is inseparable from a cooking process, and it will be delicious in the end.

It is precisely because of this production process that the delicious food we eat in our mouths will be particularly fragrant in the end ~ jiaozi is no exception ~ jiaozi pays attention to eating while it is hot and having a good time ~ Bao jiaozi pays attention to how good people work and have a good time ~ Let's start with rolling the dough ~ We can shoot it from the perspective of the first person or the second person.

The picture above shows the ordinary "skin-patting" method. If you want to make the tumbling process feel and atmosphere more, you must grasp the contrast between light and shade, and the appropriate later stage is also very necessary ~

For example, adding a filter: wrapping jiaozi, we can use the shooting angle from near to far to choose wrapping jiaozi as the foreground, which is more extended than shooting jiaozi directly. Or adopt a top-down perspective, which is more conducive to the layout of the desktop and adds some perceptual creativity. Jiaozi is also a very warm thing. In the dim light, several pairs of dexterous big hands create a warm family atmosphere, and the gentle pressing of fingers on the stuffing also reflects the artificial charm, which makes people feel self-help and well-fed.

Is wrapped jiaozi afraid of adhesion? Sprinkle some noodles and flour to make the picture dynamic and static: jiaozi just wrapped is like pieces of white jade waiting to be carved. You can control the tone of the picture by exposure. Low-key makes your picture mysterious, while high-key makes your picture cleaner. After jiaozi is wrapped, don't worry about the pot, take some pictures ~ You can try the following methods to take pictures of jiaozi:

Take close-ups

Jiaozi's close-up can better reflect the unique texture of flour, and a full screen of delicious food is coming.

Use light

Under the light, the chubby creature in vain is very happy.

Take a special photo.

If jiaozi looks the same, it seems no different from other people's homes. Let's shoot something special.

A little color.

Bring a white-skinned jiaozi out ~ Buy some carrots, purple cabbage and spinach, and make them into vegetable juice and noodles. The packaged color jiaozi is both beautiful, delicious and nutritious ~

Jiaozi is cooking!

Whether it's steamed dumplings or jiaozi, the cooking process is also worth a try ~ The tension caused by the change of light and shade makes people look forward to the jiaozi in the steamer. With the help of steam, the hot jiaozi will be ready soon ~ ~

Cooked jiaozi is delicious! Don't worry, take a picture before eating ~ There are many ways to take a good picture of jiaozi after dinner, whether it's composition, shooting angle or layout ~

A close-up of jiaozi.

Pick up a jiaozi with chopsticks, close to the camera, the light should be bright ~ The stuffing inside is looming ~ The proximity of distance can highlight the characteristics of jiaozi itself, from the color of dumpling skin to the degree of tendon, to the bulge and depression of bulging stuffing on dumpling skin. Picking up a piece or scooping up a piece with a spoon is also a common method in food photography, but jiaozi is particularly attractive because of its stuffing ~

It's best to choose a bite, leave half, let the meat inside show a little, and dip it in the sauce. Fresh and full stuffing becomes an effortless catching point in your picture. Wow ~ my mouth is watering! Dishes and sprinkles are more delicious.

Or put all jiaozi in a big plate, sprinkle some Chili sauce and sesame seeds on it, and wait for someone to spread it evenly. It smells good just looking at it ~
