Photographers talk about the essence of food shooting.

Lead: Do you also take pictures before eating? Is there a popular saying now? Mobile phone first? , that is, after serving the dishes, I took photos and sent them to social networks before moving chopsticks. Many people scoff at this and think it is a pathological state. Is it true?/You don't say. Let's see what the photographer says.

Taking pictures before meals is a mental illness?

I use my mobile phone less when I eat ... but I really use my camera!

I see Asians? Self-portrait? 、? Shoot food? With what? Upload the network? In fact, the proportion is much higher than that in Europe and America that I am familiar with. Compared with Asia, Europeans and Americans often enjoy the world outside the mobile phone, using their eyes as cameras and memories and life as updates of online communities. Having said that, I believe many people will agree and even condemn too many people who are addicted to the online world. But that's not my purpose. I have lived in the United States for a long time, and my later work often travels around the world. What is the most important thing I have learned? Don't comment too early, okay? And then what? Negative comparison and criticism are always troublesome? . Used in food photography, the same is true of online sharing culture.

Shooting food is also shooting happiness.

I think it is more appropriate to shoot happiness than food.

Our nation is reserved, and many times we dare to speak out in the online world. At the same time, most of us live in a crowded and busy metropolis, but the most empty world is the online world. Assuming that the objective environment is different, we can't just look at the advantages of Europe and America.

Why take pictures before eating? It's simple! Because this meal makes that person happy.

Why do you want to upload and share your photos? Because I want to interact with people and share happiness.

Shooting food is to share happiness.

Is this a show off? To tell the truth, China people can't afford a meal, although they are not the top billionaires. Don't think too much. I don't think it's a show-off to shoot delicious food, because most of them are not expensive.

I can't say whether this represents most people's thoughts, but at least I think so. When friends are eating, I don't like watching people play with their mobile phones, but I will tell them directly that it is rare to go out for dinner together and update it when I get home (otherwise I will upload XD)! When I see someone struggling to get a delicious feeling, I will also explain the basic shooting rules to them.

Many times, the purpose of taking pictures is not to really want to shoot a work, but to leave something to remember the current mood. At this time, photography has become a reason for people to interact, food has become a memory, and the internet has become a tool for sharing. Regardless of whether the abuse comes entirely from the parties concerned, these hobbies and activities have no good or evil in themselves.

People who shoot food don't want to shoot works, but want to keep memories.

Seriously, eating is not the point, everything is for getting together. Will someone film people they don't like and unhappy parties? Everything speaks for itself. Let's share a few photo techniques.

1. Only by making good use of the angle and focal length can we have a richer composition.

2. When choosing a seat, consider the light source first, and shoot vegetables and friends. I will always sit opposite my wife, because I want to shoot her, and my wife will always be smooth.

Don't forget to take pictures of your friends who have dinner together.

Please share the photos online after eating!

5. Have a good appetite! Have a good appetite! )

When shooting in a restaurant, I always pay attention to the position of the spotlight.
