The Fundamentals To Improve Your Mouthwatering Food Photography Don’t we all click pictures of our food for Instagram? If you have tried then you know how hard it is to get the perfect click. There are so many things you should know from the point of view of a Bangalore food photography if you want to capture the freshness of your food and at the same time make it look aesthetic. Check out some tips and tricks to get the perfect food shots that you always desire: Say No to Camera Flash: If you are someone who loves capturing food shots you might be aware of this already that keeping the flash on is a big no-no. The food looks horrible in the camera flash. The image will capture specular highlights due to the moisture on the food which will not only be distracting but will also make your food look greasy. Also, you will not be able to avoid unappealing and strange shadows either on the plate or the food or both. This is due to the harsh camera flash. To capture the food at its best make sure that the lighting is soft. Make Tripod your best friend: Using a tripod to shoot the food has its own benefits. Food Photographers in Bangalore insist on trying out this trick to capture a scrumptious shot. It allows your hands to be free which in turn lets you style your dish so that you can work to get the perfect shot. If you are shooting in a controlled environment you can use the tripod seamlessly. Tripod allows you to lock down your camera and set your focus and style the food with ease without missing out on the exact position of the food. With the tripod, you can capture the shot from above with ease without breaking your back.

The severity of the digital noise depends on the camera and the low light situation. You can get away with the digital noise with the lower resolution if you are using the images for the web. You can check out applications that food photography Bangalore uses to correct digital noise. The app softens the pixel edges that create noise. This makes the image appear a little soft with focus afterwards. Use Props but not too many: The Prop adds the story to the image. If you simply shoot the food in a bowl or a plate it will look like a simple documentation of a food dish. Adding even a simple prop will add the much-needed drama to your photo which will improve the picture. Use props as a secondary subject allowing the food to grasp
