Prepared a plum cake according to the legendary recipe? First, did the new burger with avocado and fuagroy? I decided to kill and once in life order something odd, like firebirds on the grill? Share your smile with the world. But try to remove the dish so that without clarification it was clear that this and why did you put it in instagram at all.
Choose background
Best of all your steak of tuna or a bagel will look at something in one-photo. If you take pictures of the food at home, finding a monochny tablecloth or a roll of wrapping paper, if the restaurant is closed under the plate with a napkin. A tree or rug made of straw is also a good background, immediately suggests on the thoughts about naturalness and utility. But the motley tablecloth or clearly cheap tabletop from chipboard will kill the frame.
Now in the trend, the multi-layeredness - put on the table to the table, on a piece of paper - a napkin, a napkin - a tray or a cutting board, for a tray - the most culprit of the celebration in a beautiful plate. This gives frame depth.
Add requisite
A lone steak is, maybe and tasty, but boring. Food is needed by the company and entourage. Sui in the frame casually crumpled or, on the contrary, neatly folded napkin, cutlery, a vase with flowers - or even one clove captured from the street maple leaves, scraps crafted paper - anything, if only it combined with a dish and looked harmoniously. At home it is even easier - around the plate can be scattered in the artistic disorder of its most photogenic ingredients - rosemary twigs and any other greenery, garlic heads, cut in half a red bow, fresh berries and fruits.
Pick up the lighting
Definitely the natural light is best. So you need to take food on a sunny day closer to the window. Artificial lighting makes all the blue, flexible and dull, as from the school caught.
The light should either fall on the side, or highlight the dish from the back. But in the second case, it is difficult to make a good frame on the phone - either a plate will become a black spot, or everything behind it is a white haired. If the light falls on top or in front, then the food loses the volume and also looks not very appetizing. Even worse, there are reflection of lamps on the glossy surface of plates and glasses - watching them not.
Still cleanliness
Even the most successful frame can be spoiled if together with an elegant cheesecake to shoot fingerprints on the edge of a plate, a bare cup of cocoa and a cigarette ash on the table top.
Choose angle
Actually, you have two options - clearly from above, as with aerial photography, and on the side. Soups and porridge are better to shoot from above - at an angle the surface will be glare and the appetizing frame will not be released. Vertical objects like sandwiches and burgers, on the contrary, should be removed from the side, so that the viewer appreciates the filling - breads and toasts, he saw so a thousand times. If you doubt, do a few photos from different angles - you will immediately see that your boiler and Panakotte goes more.
Maskiruy
Not every food is beautiful and pleases the eye. Some dishes are frankly terrible and look as if they have already eaten once. Raga, rubbed soups, Forsaki, anything, floating in a sauce - alas, without a certain meyk-APA, it is impossible to show the world. If the surface of the dish does not look very, distracting attention from it - put on a few twigs of greens, something like black sesame, if the dish is light, or crackers, if it is dark. Lemon slices will come down, olives, bright vegetables like carrots and asparagus. Of course, all these additions must be relevant and from the point of view of taste.
