It is a very challenging and satisfying genera of photography. These days, it is a one of the most popular niche which photographers love to work on and also get a high income and revenue.
Now a days, this becomes a need for the commercial photography. Food photography is mainly done for the commercial purposes for restaurants, resorts, hotels and several online food business.
It is also used for different online food ordering portals like dominos, Zomato etc. In this article, I am sharing some tips and tricks to improve your food photography skills that how you can outshine your food in your photos.
I will be discussing their about 7
major things that you must keep in mind while food photography.
Let's discuss, now!
1. ANGLES
you must know how much importance important role angles plays in each and every genre of photography.
If you talk about this particular niche- the food photography. The angle is an extremely crucial factor.
Clicking different photographs from different angles help you to compare all your outputs and you got to know from which angle your photographs give the sightseeing and a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
Knowing the perfect angle for the picture is more important rather than clicking the pictures anyways.These are some examples you can also improve your angles selecting ability by clicking many photographs.
2. COLOURS
The most satisfying thing in food photography is the arrangement of food that how you are gonna to arrange and how you are going to show varied colours to stand out your food.
The role of the food stylist in different restaurants, resorts and hotels are to look the food attractive that attracts a customer to buy them.
So, they use different ingredients of different colours and the colour of the plate used and the background is also very important.
They use such a combination of colours of background, plates and the ingredients of food that complement the overall food.
3.LIGHTING
Food photography as it seems easy but it is not easy as it looks.
The main problem associated with that is the use of proper lighting.
The photographs that you see on different sites are captured in studio in controlled light conditions.
In any photograph, the use of natural lighting is more preferable. Using the natural lighting is comes more by experiences. It is not a one day goal.
The best position for the food photography at your home is near a window where plenty of light is present.
So, go and get some advantage of light in your photos.
4. NEUTRAL BACKGROUND
As I mentioned above the colour of the plate used and the background is also very essential aspect.
Use of neutral background and helps you in this case.
NOW,
WHAT IS NEUTRAL BACKGROUND ?
Neutral background means the background that does not affect the colour of the subject.
Suppose you have a very bright yellow or red colour and you are using a black background then your subject will stand out in the picture.
But if you are using light orange( in the case of bright yellow subject )and
light pink or brown( in case of bright red subject )then the picture merge with the surroundings.
So, this can help you.
Sometimes using bright colour for subject against light or dark background colours is unattractive.
5. INGREDIENTS
you can also click the picture of different ingredients that you can use during preparation of food rather than only clicking the prepared one.
Pictures of ingredient make the viewers clear about the condition of the setup that is kitchen that is Meshy or neat and clean.
It is a good and unique option as everyone click photo of food after preparations.
The picture of ingredients not directly coming to the criteria of food photography as it is more of Still life Photography.
6. HEIGHT
As different angles are important for the photography. Heights is also an essential aspect.
It is not only upward and downward movement.
But if you tilt your camera lens, what must be the distance between your camera and the food. If you come too close your food, you can't find out all the food elements in your photograph.
But if you take pictures of your food from where you are covering all of your plate and all the food elements. It completes your picture and seems very beautiful !
7. MAKING PROCESS
it is not just the cooked food but the prepartory phase is also important. you can click photographs of food while cooking. Use of steam from food shows that the food is just prepared. you can pay attention on the textures, colours, shapes etc. of the food. you not just get tasty food to eat but also some of the nice pictures that you can share with your family and friends.
