Food Photography For Beginners
Were ever your look you will find food photography. We are enclosed in a sea of it. Open a magazine or paper and it will be there throwing its mouth watering images out at you stirring your taste buds into action.
When you first take a peek into the world of food photography you may sense that you can never take pics like the professionals but you could amaze yourself.
As we all know – light is King in the world of photography. Getting the lighting right is always the number one concern. Take time to make sure your have plenty of light.
Using natural light from a window can be perfect for food picture taking because it gives food that natural look. Support this with bounced flashlight and you can get a simple yet perfect result.
If you are going to be doing a lot of food photos then consider setting yourself up a food light box to make your job easier and quicker. This consists of a framed area covered in diffusion screens with lights behind on stands or attached to flexible tubes so you can move them easily into position. The food sits on a plain smooth single coloured background cover that is usually white so there is no background to remove with Photoshop later. Make sure the cover is easy to wipe in case of food splashes.
Slow is great with food so use a slow shutter speed which will allow time to capture the depth of the image. Put your camera on a solid tripod to stop movement and use a shutter release cable.
Use the right props with your pictures and they will bring your photos alive. We eat food literally with our eyes first so feed the eyes with lots of variety and colour.
