Food photography for food bloggers may be a never ending challenge...lighting, composition, styling, editing... they're all skills that require  to be learnedsome extent and shoot or smart phone .The ones that start your stomach growling and your mouth salivating. Those that cause you to want to lick your display screen. Those that have you ever running for the kitchen, fingers crossed that you simply have everything available to form whatever was therein photo.


You don’t need to be knowledgeable photographer to require a mouthwatering  photograph , but it does take a touch practice.

10 TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

1.Find a photograph online that you simply absolutely love and check out to re-create it. Cook the meal, set the stage and attend work. Paying close attention to the small print in other's photography also willhelp your own. to the food styling, the lighting, the angle the photo was taken at 

2.Buy (or borrow, or rent, or salvage) a replica of the book From Plate to Pixel by Helene Dujardin, and study it.

 3.Take photos from different angles, and take tons of them. Move round the  food, take pictures from up above and down below, up close and further away. Change the  found out. Play  together with your camera’s settings. You’ll always delete the photos that don’t end up, so take lots.

      4    If  you’re  submitting to sites like Foodgawker and Tastespotting,  you will got to  crop your          photos into a square. Keep this in mind while you’re shooting. At rock bottom of the page I’ve shared.

5.Never use the flash on your camera! This is often true  for nearly all situations, but  very true for food I exploit  my Lowel Ego Pro tabletop light 100% of the time. The lighting is consistent,  the color is neutral and  it’s extremely easy  to regulate the direction and strength of  the sunshine. If you are not quite  able to make the plunge, confirm you shoot during the day near  an outsized window. If you get tons of direct sunlight you’ll want  to hide the window with a white sheet to diffuse  the sunshine so it’s not so harsh.

 

6. Get a couple of  props  that you simply wish to work with. My favorites are my vinyl background boards from Ink and Elm,  a couple of  tiny white bows and spoons, crumpled up parchment paper and paper towels.


7. Always  get on the lookout  for brand spanking new (at least to you) props.  A number of  the more interesting props that I even have found are a newspaper, old postcards, and interestingly shaped dishes.

8. Photograph food  that’s easy to figure with. Think bright colours and much of texture.  The foremost difficult foods to photograph (I think) are those with muted colours or are very white. Starting with  a simple subject will help  to create  your confidence and cause you to want to require more photos.

9. Treat yourself to  a replica of Pinch of Yum’s e-book Tasty Food Photography. I bought it for myself and learned  tons of useful tips and tricks.

10. Celebrate together with your photography! Becoming a far better photographer should be a fun journey. Keep practicing and remember to enjoy the method.
