Talking photography skills

The second weekend of the New Year is over. Have you gone out to eat~eat~? As a foodie, I spent the entire day shopping and eating.

I ate from the east of the city to the city center (I am the only one who can eat like this). Of course, I had to take photos while eating, but I am not very good at taking photos, so I looked it up online. This is a little bonus for you! (There are a lot of high-energy secrets later!)

The quality of a photo is very subjective, but there are always some default standards that everyone has, such as composition, exposure, color, and even the choice of focal length, aperture, and shutter , the direction of light, the hardness of illumination, etc., and there is right and wrong when it comes to professional theoretical knowledge in photography.

?So a good-looking photo may not necessarily be a photo that is very technical, and a photo that experts think is "right" may not be good-looking to ordinary people. ?

Food photography is a still life photography. The first step is composition, that is, posing. This is really important! Your subject must be clear enough to let the viewer know what you most want people to see. , and in food photography, in addition to clearly photographing your plate, you also need to highlight the protagonist through other things. This is the combination and effect production. Otherwise, just to see clearly what it is, just take a close-up close-up. .

?This involves the relationship between the main body and other supporting roles. You can purely express the main body without supporting roles, or you can appropriately match some background props to assist the main body. You can even use many things to surround the main body. Atmosphere (but the matching must be careful and not steal the spotlight from the main subject)

Another important point in the composition is that it must be regular and comfortable to look at.

No matter what photos you take, if your photography skills are not very good, please keep them horizontal and vertical. Normally if you look through any big-name magazine, whether it is fashion portraits, still lifes of merchandise, or landscapes and street scenes, there will be no "crooked" photos, and few photos will show the horizon or people or objects standing upright on the ground. Even if there is a tilt in the picture, it is taken by the photographer so that you can look at it straight on, which requires great composition skills, rather than a strange photo that is tilted and tilted so that you look at it with your head tilted. (Unless you want the people looking at the photos you take to tilt their heads...)

?Dynamic, this is a very bonus shooting method.

All kinds of food, whether high-end or not, have their best and most unique moments. The photographer wants to capture this moment. Food has always been alive, they are not just waiting to enter people's mouths. Those moments when change occurs, whether spontaneous or artificially added, are the moments when they shine.

The photo itself is a carrier of stories and ideas. If it is just a simple photo of food, there will always be a feeling that something is missing. But if you can feel the temperature of the food, the overall atmosphere during the meal, and even the lifestyle, this should be a good photo with a lot of depth.

?1. A beautiful tablecloth can instantly enhance your look;?

?2. Reflection, this is a very interesting way of composition, but I can’t take it well. Yes, you are a handicapped person, hahaha. . .

?3. Some small decorative accessories can make the picture fuller and make you want to eat it when you look at it;

?4. Let the food and characters appear together, and the shooting picture will be more interesting. It has a more sense of story;

5. Capturing the most exciting moment of food, which is the dynamic mentioned above, I can’t do it, my movements are slow, hey. .

?6. Side light can better reflect the texture and distinct tones

?7. Backlight can well express the highlights of food

?8. Nothing can be more beautiful than the afternoon sun

There are many photos that need to be post-processed after taking them. There are also secrets, hahha~

?1 , Properly improve the sharpness of the picture, which can highlight the texture of the ingredients (the edges with flowers are clearer, the texture of meat, etc.)

?2. The tone is warmer and the color is more saturated. Pictures can arouse people's appetite

3. Darken the surroundings of the picture and highlight the content in the center

4. Add some interesting ideas to make the picture lively (various Cute little expressions are also acceptable, I have used them a lot)
