The first thing to taste delicious food is all kinds of equipment with cameras in the hands of the diners. One shining lens is like a pair of greedy eyes. In order for us to be able to have a nice warm bite after these greedy shots, it's important to make a quick decision. Let's talk about how to shoot fast food.

Try different angles

Vertical perspective is the most commonly used perspective, and there are a large number of such photos on Integra, and this Angle is becoming more and more popular, after the completion of the shooting and with the appropriate filter, the style of the photo will be immediately improved.

It's also good to get a little closer to the na of the whole dish, especially for such delicate dishes as Chinese food. It's also good to highlight the richness of the food with the combination of details.

For food piled up layer by layer, such as hamburgers or muffins or some cakes, if the vertical perspective is still used, it is inevitable that only one layer will be covered without any details of the food. In this case, we need to use the parallel perspective to shoot. When shooting from a parallel perspective, you should pay attention to the background and avoid the interference elements that may affect the subject.

Students who like to shoot minimalism can understand that the negative space in the picture can help us highlight the subject more, although we may feel that the restaurant is not real when we eat out.

Bring the picture to life

Interaction with viewers is an important means to arouse their interest, and food photography is no exception. The key to creating interaction lies in creating a sense of participation, using composition and elements to enhance the story of food in the image. For example, if you want to show baked goods, you can add some raw materials of food in the picture, such as flour, or simply take a spike of wheat to match, or compare the finished goods and semi-finished goods together.

In addition to comparing the semi-finished product with the finished product, you can also set up a backward timeline, such as putting the half-eaten food on the table. Of course, you should pay attention to the appearance, and you should not mess up the food on the plate, which will not look good.

Pay attention to color matching

The use of complementary colors is also an important factor in the composition.
