Good food photography is often more intriguing than the food itself. Impressive photos of food can be taken using a smartphone. The resulting pictures will look professional.
Whether you're using Android or iOS, you can take great photos by following these tips.
1. hold vertically
Hold the smartphone almost vertically. With a standard grip, the smartphone leans slightly forward, which distorts vertical lines.
You may not be able to hold it upright right away. In this case, ask a friend to stand next to you and adjust the position in your hand.
2. look for color
Sometimes food is photographed in black and white, but it is easier to get a realistic impression on a color photo. When choosing what to photograph, look for bright colors. Remember that not all colors will look as bright on camera as they do in reality. Try taking pictures of bright objects such as green, yellow and red.
Using the maximum light will help reproduce colors better. When photographing food indoors, place the camera near a window for better sunlight.
3. use portrait mode
Smartphones have a portrait mode that blurs the background behind the subject. This emphasizes the subject in the foreground.
Portrait mode is useful for accentuating food photos, but caution should be exercised when photographing transparent objects such as glasses.
4. activate the grid.
For more accurate food layout, turn on the grid display in the camera app. This will allow you to align horizontal and vertical lines and follow the rule of thirds for optimal composition.
5. post-processing
Post-processing in a photo editor is equally important for photo quality. One of the best apps for this is Snapseed. The app lets you control exposure, temperature, and saturation, in addition to basic features like brightness and shadows.
When processing photos, follow the rule that you can't make a bad photo better with post-processing, but you can make a good image even better.
