Food Photography: Starting A Flourishing Career

Food Photography: Starting A Flourishing Career

by Marty Bicknese

If you're fond of taking photographs of food whether for placement in your blog or just as a hobby, you might want to get involved with the food photography career. Your unique style and creativity in taking pictures should get you a good head start as a food photographer. Following a few tips and techniques can also be beneficial in sharpening your skills in this art form.

There are several different areas of photography but each one of them shares a very essential element that all your photos must have - good lighting. In food photography, the worst photos you will take are usually those that have too much highlights and shadows. If you're going to take pictures of food, make sure you have soft and diffused lighting through the help of softboxes or umbrellas.

The depth of field you use can also help create stunning and dramatic effects on your photos. In food photography, you can make your audience amazed at the way your photos look by using a wider aperture. A wider aperture should give your photos that artistic blur as it leaves your main subject in focus. Using tripods and remote shutter release can also help ensure sharp pictures every time.

Your food photography skills will also be more developed by experimenting on different shooting angles. It is interesting to see that most novice food photographers will shoot down on their subject, thus making it quite boring or too common. By shooting at table or plate level with your subject, you can create a unique dimension, emphasis, or detail that can't be achieved in regular shooting angles.

Food photography also requires that you must be observant when it comes to your white balance because of the different lighting conditions you may encounter. No one is going to be happy about a picture of a vanilla ice cream that is color gray instead of white right? If you don't want to worry too much about white balance, you're better off shooting in RAW mode.

If you think you have what it takes to start a business or career in food photography, you should also think about buying the best lenses and accessories that you can afford. Although photography in general is much about using your creativity and imagination, having high quality equipment can help you produce better photos every time.
