most if you are looking for understanding photography the answer is almost the same all the process of painting using light media. But the main thing is how to deepen the art of photography. If the definition of photography is the process of painting art with light media, then everyone can do photography activities if have a camera, but whether everyone can produce an art?
"Art is something created by humans that contain elements of beauty or the essence of creativity".
In photography there are various types of art in photography, there are food photography, Fashion Model Photo Photography, Wedding Photo,, flora photography, fauna photography and many more.
And this time that will be discussed is food photography. You may often go to bookstores and find plenty of food recipes, culinary tours that contain a lot of snapshots of food that can make you drool, and wonder how the food tastes. Sometimes in the books it feels that the focus presented is not a matter of recipes or culinary places, but the foods that are the main character.
Many people take pictures of food, and suddenly become a food photographer or buy a slr camera and then come food photos for a restaurant or cafe and suddenly become a food photographer. Actually, what is the work of the food photographer? Do just photograph it and finish it. It looks easy if the food we eat is beautiful, the restaurant is familiar with the taste of the food so everything looks interesting even if the photograph is just plain normal.
Indeed food photographer or food photographer should make the usual food looks different and interesting, of course, to take pictures like this required Camera, Techniques, experience to take pictures, not just show what it is that part of the greatest responsibility.
There are so many photos about food using the same angle (photo angle). Sometimes this principle works well, but the creative outlook that comes with different angles from each shoot is almost always
Although food photography is fairly easy, but still there is a photography theory that must be understood by food photographers to produce good food photos. Here are some simple theories that you can apply when photographing food.
more interesting and memorable than just focusing on one angle
The classic angle (photo angle) is as far as the eye can see, ie looking straight down from above. Although interesting, try not to use this as the default view because this angle may cause you to miss something in highlighting the essential elements of a food.
Generate the photo as you wish. But remember that the colors in every shoot are important, especially if you are shooting for your customers. Different angle (photo angles) will be better for different types of photos. This means that if you get a picture with a good angle for a subject like a cupcake then a similar angle (corner photo) will not necessarily give a good picture for your subject like ice cream. For that, be careful in choosing your angle (corner of the photo) because it is your choice. If that is your choice, then choose wisely.
Do not take too long
Food tends not to look tempting long, so prepare your photography device well before shooting, you are required to be able to take pictures as soon as possible after the food is cooked, if it is too long then the food will melt, look withered and has changed color. This means that preparation is absolutely necessary. Know what you want before the food is cooked. One strategy that can be done is before the food comes out of the kitchen, you've set all the properties with the desired proportions and take some pictures with just a blank plate or sample to get the right exposure. You just replace the samplel food
The process that is not less important after photographing is the editing process. Use any editing software to set color tone and croping to make your photo look more perfect.
May this theory be of benefit to you. If you do not have a DSLR, can use HP with a fairly clear camera quality or pocket camera. Congratulations to the berkuliner and experiment guys!
