So how do you shoot a good-looking ins food style?
Let the "little photographer" ~ ~ let me talk about it!
China people pay attention to the aesthetics of food, that is, "color, fragrance and shape".
Therefore, the core of food photography is how to give food personality, make it vivid and attractive, and record a state of life.
The overall steps are as follows: plate making, light source, composition, desktop setting, shooting, prop selection and post-stage.
Commonly known as "three points are doomed, three points depend on posing, and four points depend on filters."
Setting the table is undoubtedly very important; It is necessary to analyze the characteristics of dishes in advance and pay attention to modeling, that is, setting the plate+embellishment.
Beautiful tableware will add points to photos, for example, wooden tableware can create a natural aesthetic feeling;
But the two points of attention of tableware-texture and shape, ensure that only food can attract people's visual focus;
All the accessories are for the main body of food to be photographed. "Besides eating, the white ground is really clean" is the best.
Secondly, good light is the foundation, and sunlight is the best light to present the original color of food.
When shooting food, try to choose backlight or side light, and it is best to choose outdoor or window position with sufficient light source.
And composition?
The most important thing to shoot food is to highlight the theme and avoid the clutter of the picture. The key lies in "seeking common ground while reserving differences, highlighting the main body and making the picture vivid".
Jiugongge composition, that is, putting food in the horizontal and vertical cross position of the word "well", is the most classic and commonly used.
Centered composition means that the main body is located in the center of the picture, but the disadvantage is that the picture will be dull;
Diagonal composition refers to the diagonal arrangement of food in the picture, from lower left to upper right or from upper left to lower right.
Diagonal composition will make the picture have a dynamic effect, which is very enlightening and can show the sense of truth between mistakes and food.
Triangle composition, triangle has the characteristics of stability and balance, which can make the picture have a strong sense of calmness, stability and balance.
Parallel composition can shoot food in a straight line, which is calm and comfortable;
U-shaped composition means that the two sides are high and the middle is low, which has a good sense of balance and relaxation and will bring good imagination to the observer.
Blank composition method: simplify the composition to the extreme. Use more black or white, leaving readers room for imagination and creating a refreshing impression;
The ratio of food to blank space is mostly between 6:4 and 7:3.
Desktop scenery needs to be considered from many aspects such as style, color matching and atmosphere creation.
It is best to keep it organized, relying on the balance of colors and the accuracy of lines;
It is more practical to use different materials of cloth, sprinkle bread crumbs on the table, and use solid color or special mechanism background.
Next, it is the turn of the most critical link: shooting!
There are three shooting angles: flat shot (0), upward shot (90) and oblique shot (45).
0 shallow depth of field, 45 shallow depth of field, 90 deep depth of field; Using the depth of field of the lens and choosing a specific focus can present the three-dimensional sense of food.
90 table angle combined with oblique angle can create a sense of space and extension of food photos, which is also the "table angle method" commonly used by bloggers.
Among them, 1: 1 frame is the most suitable for shooting food.
Of course, the most telling and interactive way to take pictures of food is to try to "destroy" it ~ "take", "lift", "clip" and "hug".
For example, broken biscuits, a piece of cake is missing, and a little pizza creates "I will be eaten soon!" " "Harmonious atmosphere.
Then, we need to skillfully use props: capture dynamic moments.
Put a handful of ecstatic green chopped green onion on steaming noodles and sprinkle with snowflake-like icing? The ice cubes fell into the cup gently, splashing.
Finally, the post-skill is to add a filter, which can be added with one click, open Meitu Xiu Xiu and select the post-photo; Click "Intelligent Optimization" and then select "Food Filter"!
Adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation of photos with one button; Warm color, warmth; Cool color, refreshing.
In short, the only way to improve the technology is to shoot more! ? Look more! ? Imitate more!
