Yatou photography

There is a kind of trip to "eat". China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with a variety of products, which makes the food culture in different places different ... There was a saying in Shanshan's mind that "food can only be eaten locally, but it doesn't taste like this outside this place ..." The food in a place must contain rich connotations and reflect the nationality, tradition and culture of a place. Therefore, food will bring photographers a lot of photographic subjects.

A senior foodie, in addition to eating well when traveling, will also bask in the food in the circle of friends. It's just delicious food. Because the photos are not expressive enough, they will be spit out in the circle of friends: "not delicious", "just like this" ... and so on. It's always a pity not to take "delicious" photos. Next, Shantou will share with you all kinds of food photography tips, so that you can bring back different photos when you travel.

I always think of eating hot food in winter, especially after going out to play in cold weather. Hot food makes people feel particularly warm. In the face of steaming food and eating warm, how can photos make people feel the "warmth" of food? Today, I will share some tips for shooting the most common "steamed" food in winter, so that you can shoot different "warm" delicacies.

Tips 1. Steaming food in winter is the key to "warmth"

Food should make people feel "warm" A cup of hot tea, a bowl of hot soup, a roast, a bowl of noodles and a plate of fire nest can all feel the temperature in your mouth, but the most direct expression is to add steaming pictures to the picture. The key to shooting is to capture the heat on food in time.

Tip 2: capture the heat of "steaming" food in winter.

Be sure to shoot the food when it is hot enough. In order to increase the atmosphere of the scene, you can light aromatherapy or cigarettes to enhance the effect of hot air when shooting, so that the hot air will be more obvious.

Tip 3. Composition of "steamed" food in winter

No matter which composition method is adopted, our shooting theme is "steaming food". Be sure to pay attention to the ratio of food and hot air in the picture, and ensure that there is enough picture space to show the rise of hot air.

Tip 4: The angle of shooting "steaming" food in winter.

Hot air is always floating and rising. In order to make the picture vivid, it is not appropriate to shoot from top to bottom, because the rise of hot air cannot be highlighted. Shooting at a lower position and angle will better show the shape of hot air.

Tip 5. The direction of light when shooting "steaming" food in winter

Every angle can capture the appearance of food "steaming", but using backlight (the light is opposite to the shooting direction) or side backlight can outline the brightness outline of hot air better, showing the artistic effect of food emitting hot air.

When choosing the angle of backlight or side backlight, we should pay attention to using a pure dark background, because backlight is usually the best way to express a dark scene on a dark background, and the hot air shot on a dark background has distinct layers, vivid pictures and strong sense of space. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the dark background not to be too fancy, and the solid color is the best, so that the picture will not be messy.

Tip 6. Set shooting parameters of "steamed" food in winter.

When shooting steaming food, we should pay attention to four points to ensure the picture quality:

1, the depth of field should not be too shallow.

2. The shutter speed should not be too slow.

3, ISO should be reduced (no more than 400)

4. Set the camera to continuous shooting mode to ensure that the selected gas with good shape can be photographed.

Finally, when we travel, we can't just take pictures, especially in winter, when the food is still hot, the food in our mouth is really delicious, and watching plums can quench our thirst, but eating is the most practical.

Photography is interesting, but it is also a science. Welcome everyone to participate in the improvement and discussion to improve the photography level together.
