Capture the taste and smell of food~~

After enjoying the taste and smell of food, gourmet would like to take pictures of their sweeties.
However, since neither taste nor smell can be captured on photos, taking good photos of food is not as easy as it looks. As a result, gourmet should find ways to make the food as delicious as possible.

Here are some tips to help take attracting food photography:
1.       Food photos usually need to be taken at close range. Texture is your friend. You should photograph the most dominant texture of the food. If you were photographing chocolate, for instance, you would want to focus on their smooth, silky texture.
2.       Keep the food in focus and the background out of focus, drawing attention to the food.
3.       Lighting plays an important role in food photos. Proper use of light and shadow can make meals look three-dimensional.
4.      Garnishes and accessories can transform average pictures of food into art. A dessert fork next to a cheese cake with a bite out of it implies that the cake was simply too good to resist.
