No.2 When dishes and food are not very loud and complex, we need to consider how to make the subject more prominent, so as not to be mixed with the background. In this case, I prefer to put the food on the edge of the table or near the edge of the table. As a result, I can make the background more hierarchical. In addition, I will also choose a more simple, monotonous background, to achieve the purpose of highlighting the food color.

No. 3 Bring texture and line to the screen.

On the wooden desktop shooting food is a very way. At this time, all of the elements in the photo are plain and true. If you don't take the food as much as you do in a restaurant, but only in the home, collocation's background of the old wood can increase the texture of the image. You can try to take some photo of delicious food, and make them as canvas prints which will bring different feeling for your room.

No.4 The advantage of natural contrast.

A strong shadow makes the image more interesting, while the color difference is more dramatic. For example, the following picture, I hope that the high light in the whiskey can have some flash, so that people's attention will be attracted by it.

No.5 Pay attention to every detail in the photo

Sometimes, in addition to shooting food as a whole, you can also close the details of the food. When a macro lens or a telephoto lens come in handy!

No.6 Choose good focus position.

The following picture is using f/3.5 aperture, so that you can get a little more depth. To shoot the dish from the angle of view, the food in the photo is clearly presented, and the decoration is a little blurry.

No.7 Considering the weather, grasp the time.

My favorite shooting time is late in the afternoon, and it is better to be cloudy. In some similar photography, soft white light is the most suitable for shooting food. A less clean window can serve as a diffuse reflection plate, so that the light is evenly spread on the surface of the food, so if you are sitting in the window, then put your table to move closer.

No. 8 Always think about the color of the photo.

Chateau d 'Yquem is one of the best wines in the world. Sometimes when the light condition is not very good, I think try to illuminate the bottle is a good idea, on the one hand, this can let wine color more good-looking, on the other hand you can put this god-given delicious nectar show better. Taking some photo of wine and print them onto canvas prints is a good idea for home decoration. You can also give them to your friends or family as a gift.
