Food Photography



In both photos the photographer did a very good job at capturing the element of th food in a way that makes you want to eat it as soon as possible. in both photos, the food that's being focused on in obvious. The photos aren't crowded with other items or foods. The food being photographed is the main focus. An interesting way the photographers did this way by not having the food in the actual center of the photo, they're actually off to the side which makes it more refreshing and not as bland.

Article Paragraph
I actually learned quite a bit when reading the food photography articles. I learned that it is extremely important to have a really amazing chef in your corner and it's not just about going to a fancy restaurant and taking pictures of what you ordered. Details are extremely important! Obviously with any photo you have to focus on the detail, but with food photography it's literally the most important thing. What I didn't realize that was so important was using natural lighting. I never really imagined how important natural lighting was, I assumed that synthetic lighting isn't as good. A shallow depth of field is something I've never heard of someone using. It's where the main thing is very close to the front of the lens, not the farthest. All in all the main point of food photography was just to have fun with it and be creative.
