Recently, it has become very fashionable to photograph food on mobile devices. It is worth learning a few secrets of professional photographers about shooting.
So, here are some simple tips to help you take your photos right:
1. First you need to prepare a location for shooting. Remove all objects that are a distracting factor from the main subject. Only the dish should play a dominant role in the photography. It must be fresh. For example, hot second courses should exude light steam and vegetables should be exceptionally fresh.
2. Food must be brought to the fore. It should be in focus, the background is slightly blurred. To achieve this, choose a small aperture value. Use slow shutter speeds and a tripod.
3. If photographs of food were taken in dim lighting with a flash, unwanted glare may appear.
4. Rotating food at different angles, you can take many shots, from which to choose the best.
5. Select the main lighting element in the dish itself. If you want to capture potatoes and meat, it's best to focus on the meat rather than the potatoes.
6. If the task is to photograph multi-component dishes, then it is better to use white plates. A neutral background best conveys the color depth of your subject. Simple dishes will look better on colorful plates.
