Food photography tips for bloggers

-
Food PR and food photography have recently gained popularity.
It’s all about the light! My best tip for beginners is to become aware of the intensity of the light and how it hits the food, and learn to adjust accordingly. Here are some tips for getting started.

Tips for taking great food photos:

  • Take photos under natural light. Do not use overhead lights or lamps or your built-in flash. Ever!
  • Move around to find the best light source. Don’t feel confined to taking photos in your kitchen. Perhaps the light is best in your bedroom in the morning, and in your living room in the afternoon.
  • Try taking photos from multiple angles. Some plates of food look better from above like, pizza, or from the side burgers, or at a 45-degree angle drinks. Try moving around the plate and taking photos at various angles so you can pick your favorite later.
  • Minimize clutter. If that spoon, napkin or busy background doesn’t add to the photo, it detracts from the photo. Focus on what is most important, but don’t zoom in so close that viewers can’t tell what the food is.

 When lighting your photos, avoid lighting from the front. Use soft, diffused light when possible. Try to avoid casting harsh shadows. Food photography lighting skill is a hard skill to master but you’ll be amazed at how much better your photos will look once you figure this piece out.

Warnings:

Don’t use too many props. It can be tempting to use all the pretty things when you’re just getting started, but resist! Less is more with food photography. You can always add more if the shot feels empty, but chances are, it’s fine with minimal prop usage.

Don’t forget the light. The absolute best way to make your food photos amazing is to make sure your lighting is on point. Dark photos can be adjusted during the editing process, but nothing beats a well-lit photo right off the bat.

Don’t over-edit. I have seen some food photos that don’t look appetizing at all because they are way over-edited. Don’t make that mistake.

Tricks Food Photographers Use to Make Food Look Delicious:

  • Cardboard spacers add height to food.
  • Motor oil is a syrup substitute that doesn't absorb into pancakes.
  • Toothpicks hold ingredients in place.
  • Makeup sponge can add height to a burger.
  • Vegetable oil adds a juicy look to meat.
  • Glue is a milk substitute that doesn't make cereal soggy.

3D Animation Services are required to make an animated movie. Here’s a list of my favourite animated movies. While there are many charming, visually impressive, and strongly written animated feature films out there, some have risen above all the rest. Here, we're looking back at the greatest animations of all time. Rather than picking our favorites. Toy Story: 1995's Toy Story  tells the story of young Andy's cowboy doll, Woody, who sees his world turned upside down after his owner gets a cool new spaceman action figure, Buzz Lightyear, for his birthday. As if jealousy wasn't enough to deal with, Woody must also help Buzz figure out his place as a toy while fighting off threats from their toy-destroying neighbor, Sid.
