Last week, we had chance to experiment with food photography. It was interesting to learn about the best way to light the food that you are photographing, and to see how you can play about and make it look more creative. The first image I took was of these crisps. The colours gave the image depth and injected a bit of creative colour, as well as making them more interesting to photograph. The use of the mesh underneath also helped to give the image more depth, and gave the image a more natural and raw look, which complemented the food perfectly.
The second image I shot was of bread. This image had more depth by having the different condiments in the background. The spreads helped to aid the image and make the bread look more interesting. I shot this image a bit differently, and got in closer with a more shallow depth of field to put the focus on the bread at the front with the slight bit of spread on. I think this made the image look more effective, and we then therefore focus on this first before looking at the other elements of the image. Again, the chopping board that the food is placed on helps to aid the image, along with the knife.
