The most important thing in food photography is light!<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">The ideal location is close to a source of strong but soft light, i.e. diffuse light. For example, near a window, natural light in the morning, or possibly at the end of the day, is diffuse enough to avoid excessive contrast between shadows and highlights. Shadows that are too harsh should be avoided.  Otherwise, you will need to use a diffuser between the window and your subject. If you don't have a diffuser to hand, a shower curtain or greaseproof paper can do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-7d035a4\" data-block-id=\"7d035a4\"><style>.stk-7d035a4 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">That's it, now the main lighting is installed.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-81e403b\" id=\"2-deboucher-les-ombres\" data-block-id=\"81e403b\"><style>.stk-81e403b .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-81e403b {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">2.  Unblocking the shadows<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Following on from point 1, good lighting is essential in photography: unburnt highlights, as well as shadows that aren't too dark!<br>(especially as having to open up the shadows a lot during development generates digital noise, you know that horrible speckled grain!)<br>Shadows can be filled with small reflectors, sold in photo shops, but many photographers make their own. A piece of white 'feather' cardboard or cardboard covered in aluminium foil works perfectly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-4972fe4 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"4972fe4\"><style>.stk-4972fe4 {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;margin-top:40px !important;margin-bottom:50px !important;}.stk-4972fe4:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-4972fe4-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-5a4f7b4\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"5a4f7b4\"><style>.stk-5a4f7b4 {align-self:center !important;}@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-5a4f7b4 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(50% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-5a4f7b4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-5a4f7b4-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-e7e4513\" id=\"3-la-couleur\" data-block-id=\"e7e4513\"><style>.stk-e7e4513 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-e7e4513 {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">3.

As the eye adapts and neutralises these dominant colours, you can't see it, but the camera can!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-81fbf96\" data-block-id=\"81fbf96\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Neutral to slightly warm (yellowish) light will work much better.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-d0488e9\" data-block-id=\"d0488e9\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">For the artistic presentation of a dish, the use of complementary or opposing colours creates a pleasing sensation.

Working with contrasts<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">It's something you don't necessarily think about, and varies according to the style or personality of the photographer or the purpose of the photograph.<br>Some photographers like dark backgrounds to make light dishes stand out, while others prefer light backgrounds for light dishes, playing on the colours...<br>It's up to you to decide what you prefer, sometimes it's worth it and sometimes it isn't.

If the photo is intended for the consumer (advertising, menus, etc.), having an angle of view that puts you in the place of the consumer sitting at a table seems natural to me. Now, if the final destination of the photos is to appear in a cookery book, for example, the photos will be less of a \"real-life setting\" and more of a \"top-down\" shot to get an overall view of the finished dish, and the same goes for the ingredients!<br>It all depends on what you want to say with the photo!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-e3eee15\" id=\"6-la-composition\" data-block-id=\"e3eee15\"><style>.stk-e3eee15 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-e3eee15 {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">6.

The overall composition will play on the rendering of light and colour, creating depth or not, in fact generating a reading path for the viewer to understand the message.<br>Leaving empty space in a photo doesn't always have the best effect, and can create an imbalance! Take the time to frame your shot and look at your camera's LCD screen.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-449ab9d\" id=\"7-choisir-son-objectif-en-fonction-de-son-message\" data-block-id=\"449ab9d\"><style>.stk-449ab9d .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-449ab9d {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">7. Choose your objective according to your message<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">A macro lens will allow you to take close-ups, so you can get very close to the subject and draw the eye to a texture or part of a dish. On the other hand, the depth of field will be short, in other words the zone of sharpness will be very short, and the background will quickly become blurred!<br>A 'standard' lens will give you a more global view of a dish or a work situation (cook in action, waiter in motion, plate on a table, etc.) with a greater depth of field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1f10e42\" data-block-id=\"1f10e42\"><style>.stk-1f10e42 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><br>The 70-200mm tele-zoom can also be used, but it's more difficult because you need to stand back to focus, and as food photography is done indoors, you don't always have the ideal working space, but it can open up a whole new world! In fact, why do you always take food photos indoors? If the weather is good, take advantage of it!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-ba20831\" id=\"8-etre-creatif-creer-lambiance\" data-block-id=\"ba20831\"><style>.stk-ba20831 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-ba20831 {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">8.

So far, we've determined the quality and quantity of light, the colour, the contrast and the composition, but it's possible to be even more creative by working on the staging! Working on the background, adding props, even blurring conveys the context of a situation, and therefore contributes to the message of the photo.<br>This allows you to express a rustic, modern or refined style...<br>Don't hesitate to draw a diagram with pencil and paper to set out your creative ideas.<br>Spray droplets of water on a drink or fruit to express cold or freshness... use oil to add shine or reflection... etc... Take a look at blogs by food stylists.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-175097d\" id=\"9-en-photos-culinaires-gouter-ce-que-vous-photographiez\" data-block-id=\"175097d\"><style>.stk-175097d .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}.stk-175097d {margin-bottom:23px !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">9.
