“At first photograph, then eat” or how correctly to photograph
To do beautiful photos of meal very interestingly: for this purpose it is necessary not only to prepare correctly, beautifully to decorate a dish, but also competently to build a picture composition, to pick up illumination, and eventually to photograph so that looking on a photo appetite and desire immediately this dish woke up to prepare. How to learn to photograph article which I for you have translated from one English-speaking resource will tell
This simple enough management how to do excellent photos of meal, using both the excellent camera, and more simple technicians (for example, it is possible to use a glass instead of a support!)
- Never use flash. If you have come to restaurant, choose a little table near a window. “Flash does all flat” - photographer John Kernik (John Kernick) speaks. If you cannot do without flash, expose in chamber options “balance white”; for example adjustment in the form of the bulb pictogramme compensates a yellow shade which colours indoors can get.
- Remove close. “If you fill all space of a shot with a plate, the meal will look more tremendous”, photographer James Bejgri (James Baigrie) speaks. Use a macromode (often designated by a flower icon) and place a dish part in accurate focus. Or increase a diaphragm for reduction of depth of a picture that will allow to be focused on details of the near plan - we will tell, to a crisp on a dish of macaroni with cheese - and make a background washed away.
3. Wipe glasses and edges of plates. Be assured that surfaces pure and without fat prints of fingers, - fud-stylist Elison Attenborou (Alison Attenborough) speaks. At good illumination they are really visible.
4. Work quickly. A lot of time is occupied with installations for shooting, for this time salad will wither, and sauce will harden. «That the meal looked attractively, it should be fresh», speaks Bejgri (Baigrie).
5. Hold hands strong. In the conditions of the bad illumination, even the most easy movement can bring to a dim picture. Lean elbows against a table that is strong to hold the chamber. Or try council of blogger Dzhosh Fridland (Josh Friedland): it usually uses a bottom of an ordinary glass as a self-made support.
6. Do more shots. «Snimkm can look well on the tiny screen of the chamber», speaks CHika Joshizaki (Chika Yoshizaki) – the blogger «But when I come home and I look them on the computer it appears that they or not in focus, or are lighted. So I should delete them».
7. Photograph meal in the course of its preparation. «Do not postpone dish shooting, expecting quintessence of a total photo», the leader of blog Hejdi Svanson (Heidi Swanson) speaks. There are many the most interesting details which appear in the course of meal preparation.
8. Know, that it is not necessary to photograph. Some dishes it is absolute nefotogenichny, for example, meal of one colour or under brown sauce.
9. Make a homework. With other councils about meal shooting look in discussions on
