Easy Tips To Shoot Great Food Photography

Food photography might seem like more complex disciplines to tackle on your own , we all have to eat and we all have a kitchen all we have to do is thinking outside the box so here are a few tips to follow while you taking a food photograph
tips 1 : lighting is everything 
it doesn't matter how beautiful the food you photographing , as with any subject , is if you don't have good light you have to let go of your ideas about what's good or bad about your space like where light falls first thing in the morning , were the bright patches are at midday , and wher the last rays disappear from in the evening . dno't  feel limited by the kitchen for your food photographs , the coffee table might make for an interestnig surface , or the top of a bookshelf
one of the easiest way to add mor light is to grab a light colored pillowcase and use it to reflect some window light back onto your subject . put a neutral-colored bulb in a table lamp and mouv it around
Tips 2 : props are what you make of them
a drawer full of mismatched cutlery can provide interest and contrast . serving dishes in different sizes and colors can be the starting point for a variety of different looks. a large cast iron skillet or dutch even set on the table , still steaming , can give yor food photos a simple , timeless tone . from there you might need an artfully rumpled napkin or a tea towel on one side and a fork and spoon on the other to round out the scene
a single plate waiting next to a pie lifter holding the first trantalizing slice of apple pie can be bright and warm , conveying the anticipation of that first bite , nothing else needed and also expensive accoutrement food  doesn't necessarily mean attractive all you need is a fresh food colorful and textured things 
Tips 3 : make it a group project 
enlist the help of your roomates , family members , your friends . adding people can give context and life to your shot like including the poeple who made the food in the frame and watch how the emotional tenor of the photo changes .you don't need any experience to capture someonc's connection to a meaningful dish
photograph your friend and family members sharing the meal even if the images don't turn out magazine-worthy the first time , you'll have some beautiful photos of people you care about enjoying each other's company

*A few things to remember when light painting :
-unless capturing lens flares  are your intention, avoid shining the light source directly into the lens
-avoid shining the light source in oe spot for to long this will cause the light to came up as hot , photo-speak for too bright
* Light painting techniques :
the space in front of your camera's lens is your canva once the shutter is open
wear a dark clothing when you go in front of your camera so that only your light source appears
try writing a letters but keep in mind that what you write appears backwards in your photo you can always fix this by flipping your photo in post production or try painting letters backwards
paint a mor camplicated artistic scene using the light source try drawing a figure or flower or even a landscape, use an object or a human subject to trace or paint on can be super creative ( known as light graffiti )
if your subject or object move even slightly they will appear blurry
 in the the photograph and if they stays perfectly still they will remain in focus get behind them and paint at will for some inspiration you can head to pinterest and instagram
make tripple  quardruple exposures of yourself in the same photo , go to one section of your frame and use your light source to highlight yourself then turn it on then turn it off
when finally you shutter closes your photo will include severel versions of you various parts of the frame you can try this with a friend

*Tips for light paiting indoors:
use a mirror or reflective surface as a prop for your light painting photo
alternatively try using a light source that you can hover above a mirror , tilting your camera to catch the reflection and the original , tie a light source to a string and dangle it , or try projecting light off of a reflective three -dimentional object for a final psychedelic image
*Tips for light painting outdoors :
try photographing light trails of cars at night you'll use the same principles of low ISO , long shutter speed , and high aperture as described above for photographing light trails , A tripod is definitely required for this technique
when you've mastered photographing light trails of cars , try your hand at photographing star trails ,you will be using bullb mode for this special night photography keeping the shutter open for several minutes at a time
