If
you are a food blogger who wants to improve your pics, Plate to Pixel by Hélène Dujardin
is an absolute must read.
I
learned such a lot about the best camera settings, lighting, reflectors, food
styling etc – not that I've put it into practice yet! But I've renewed the book and will be reading
it again and then searching out a copy to buy.
Probably
the most important thing I found out was that for almost all food photography
you should shoot in Aperture Priority mode!
Who knew!
The
other thing I realised that I had been doing wrong was to put food on bright
cheerful plates – while the plates themselves are attractive, they are actually
distracting attention from the food. So
now I'm going to have to look out for some more muted shades. I guess it will take some time to improve!
The
pics in this post are from the book – so you can see the sort of work the
author does. She is a blogger and the
name of her blog is Tartelette.
I got this book a year ago and loved it. It has really helped me with my photography skills. I love Helene's blog as well! Her food styling is so great.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! My photography is beyond helping, but this does sound a good book.
