Photography Tips
-
. Always ask yourself, what the food you are shooting means to you. Is it rustic, elegant, does it need to be eaten in the dish, on a plate, outside or inside.
- Look for colors that enhance the food. Perhaps the same color for the food and background, or matching colors.
- Use repetitive shapes, geometry and symmetry to make pictures interesting.
- Pay attention to balancing space between the food and props. Move objects around to play with different settings.
- Use textured backgrounds that give more life, and vary angles to shoot and frame the picture.
- Do not always shoot from the same angle. Overhead shots, front or side.
- Always shoot larger than the end result. Remember you can always crop the pictures like you prefer in post.
- Be playful with the food and showcase the beauty found in raw ingredients. Observe the natural shapes and forms in food.
You do not need to show everything either. Suggestive cropping can really have a more powerful effect.
