The Most Important Tips To Tollow Before Entering The World Of Food Photography

The dish that looks delicious, delicious, clean, and coordinated in the eye of the viewer, opens its appetite and makes it eager to taste it and try it So before you enter the world of food photography, always remember the famous proverb “the eye eats before the mouth”.In this simple article I will share with you the most important steps to follow to get the best results

Determine the location of the filming: If there is no artificial lighting, take pictures in front of the window, in order to get the largest amount of light, because lighting is one of the most important elements of photography, and knowing how to employ and distribute it gives the photographer images with natural and beautiful colors.

Background and floor selection: Its colors should be neutral or natural, for example, because backgrounds colored with strong and mixed colors distract the viewer’s eye from the main dish.

Composition and design: The composition of the picture should be simple, away from entering many random elements and surrounding them with the main element, for example, if I picture a cup of coffee, I can put a teaspoon, a piece of cake, a book…., meaning elements related to the subject of the picture.

Color coordination: Use colors that are consistent with each other, and do not use many colors, be content with three or four colors maximum, and if you are facing a problem in choosing and coordinating colors, you can use the color wheel.

Angle identification: The choice of the appropriate angle is determined by the type of food to be photographed, for example, if we want to photograph pizza, it is better to take the picture from the top and this angle is called the angle 90°, and the purpose of choosing this angle without others is to show the ingredients of pizza, cheese, pepper, olives ….

Preparation of the imaging tool: Whether it’s a digital camera or a phone camera before taking the photo, make sure the camera focuses on the food clearly, so that the point of focus or what is known as Fox must be placed on the hero element in the image. ….

Amendment: After taking the picture, modify it even if it is a simple modification, you can increase the degree of color or decrease it, clean any spot that appeared to you in the picture that you did not pay attention to when you photographed the photo, edit the image…., and many editing programs, most notably Lightrum and Photoshop.
