Teach you to take pictures of food

Zi Yue: "Food, color, sex also." "Food, has always been the most valued by the people." How can I make the food picture alive and look like the ultimate delicious temptation?

This article comes from the micro-letter: "Edgar is full," the Author: "Wen Jia

1, Equipment: With a brand of micro-single +30mm fixed focal macro lens, basically put in automatic mode.

Play the manual mode occasionally.

2, composition and shooting angle:

1) generally 45 degrees before the side, highlighting the visual subject.

It was in the dining room, with a yellow light on the upper right wall and a light source for the food.

2 If there is only an iphone on hand, I will try overhead. There is no detail in the picture, but if the desktop looks good, there is also a literary accent.

This side of the white Show desktop material photos, more suitable for the blank part of the use of pressure pictures. For example, I used to do a micro-trust friend Circle problem map.

3 You can also try the composition of the master of a generation, that is, people, food, visual subjects are squeezed on one side of the photo, the other side of the big white. Anyway ... Wrong.

3, Light: The use of the restaurant or home natural light or irradiation, if you want to make good, you can move the food plate to the light can be taken to the place.

If it's nighttime, or it's a very dark yellow light, you can think of a light.

4, Lighting: Students think it is impossible? You can download an app called SoftBox on the ipad. It can turn the ipad into a soft plate. The pad effect on the retina screen is much better than the ipad Mini.

This is a recommendation from a photographer friend of mine.

Here is a detailed description, as well as video. But you need to flip a wall.

[Camera lighting] will be the iphone, ipad as the software "softbox pro".

This is the screenshot of the video, model "Eyes ladies ladies like Star", is the result of many ipad as light source.

This app has a lot of features, I only use the most common white soft light function, so do not have to buy pro.

5, Cloth light angle: At home to take pictures of food, I often use two positions.

Here are two photos, and the ipad is filled with light. There is an ordinary yellow energy-saving light source at about 80CM above the food. Right, that's the light hanging from the top of my table.

1 left oblique above, give food a cast light. It's a good place to take a food that's hard to make in detail at home. This position needs help.

2 Put the food in the left rear, give the food a contour light. This is the right place for yourself.

3 I am not in the restaurant outside to give food to the light, shame good ...

Only one by one times is played, it is a Japanese small izakaya, light is the ceiling on the spotlights, dark and yellow. There's no way to shoot food without hitting the light.

My classmate opposite me is a TV station. She took an iphone, switched it to video mode, turned on the flash, and the iphone automatically supplied an uninterrupted LED lighting source.

Or you can use the flashlight mode.

I had a good time. In addition to the contour light that comes from the top left side of the food (the camera is iphone):

They also tested the reflected light that struck the light from the back of the metal on an ipad, and the soft light of a thin napkin on the iphone light:

6, finally, if the students are really interested, you can go to read a book: Take a Happy taste (watercress)

The original author is French, the kind of love life of the tune is very interesting.

But it is also related to professional equipment and lighting.
