SUMMARY:March Theme: I can taste that Food
DESCRIPTION:We are challenging you to try food photography. This is a still life photography genre used to create appealing still life photographs of food. You want to make the food look as appetising as possible. Capturing colour and texture is important. Key techniques include using natural\, diffused light\, often from the side\, and experimenting with camera angles like the 45-degree or overhead shots to highlight different aspects of the dish. Natural light is best but avoid direct sunlight. So use diffused light from a window or white diffuser boards to spread the light. Sidelight is flattering for most food. Try shooting from different angles. For example\, layered food\, such as a burger\, is best photographed from the side. And think about your backdrop which should be simple\, but consistent with the type of food. Also think about your props e.g. forks. Make sure that everything is squeaky clean – bits of dust will be really noticeable. A person’s hands or fingers can be included\, or the cook doing finishing touches. You can even photography food while it is being cooked. \nSee Food photography tips and tricks and Introducing Food Photography and How to Take Creative Food Photos – MIOPS for ideas. Don’t forget that food includes drinks! \nHappy shooting and enjoy the food afterwards!
