Food Photography

Hi All,

Previously Chewy had posted some photographs taken by her camera.

Now, I am showing you the photos taken by my iPhone. There are many differences when you take photos with a camera and an iPhone.  Photos taken by camera have a higher quality. Besides iPhone does not provide you with functions like a camera does. With camera, you are able to focus on the specific spot while the background is blurred.

Take a look at these photos which I took using my iPhone.

These two photos does not make the donut look appetizing. There focus is on both the strawberries and the donut. If the focus were mainly on the donut, the photo will look better.

Here, we tried to include the scenery so that it appears to be an afternoon tea photo. I think the photos here are quite good though it could have been better if the focus is only on the donut.

The following two photos appear flat. This is the usual angle that most of us will use when taking photos of food.

When taking photos, we should also take note of the background. Make sure that no irrelevant items are included like the weighing scale behind the cup in the first photo. To make this photo better, I could have use a real drink instead of tap water.

I feel that knowing the right angle to take photos will produce a better quality photos. Thus, the lesson on food photography was useful to me. Although it is better to take photos with camera, I think the 'triangle rule' tip is useful enough for taking photos with an iPhone.

Till next time. Cheers.
