8 Simple Food Photography Tips
Taking pictures of food is one area of photography that has boomed in recent years. Everywhere you’ll look, there will be food, drinks, and snacks. We’re all at different stages of our food photography journey.
In order to create a romantic and warm dining environment, many restaurants tend to create a dark and changeable lighting condition, which is not suitable for food photography. If there is no external flash, we recommend a spot that near to a window so you can shoot with natural light.
use artificial light
Natural light can present the taste of the food, but artificial light also works well in some cases. You can use a reflector and softbox to create a soft light environment.
Color Contrast
Shooting from different angles
Where you place the camera will affect the type of story you're trying to convey.
Use large aperture to create depth
The large aperture gives a fascinating shallow depth of field to your image, which is popular in food photography. When the delicious food is in front of you but can't find a good way to shoot, try to use large aperture. Pay attention to the focus point when shooting, and use the depth of field preview button to determine the depth of field range before pressing the shutter button.
Change background
