make your food photography look natural :
location food photography tends to look more natural than studio food photography, but what is it about studio food photography that makes it look so fake, and more importantly what can we do as a food photographers, to make our studio food shots look more natural...When a food photographer takes out his camera and takes a picture of an existing environment, things tend to look very natural, but when that same photographer tries to create a natural looking photo in the studio.
you will need several elements in the photo in order to make the image look “natural”. If you look at your own diner table or restaurant table during your next meal, you will probably notice things that you hadn’t thought would be there.
Backgrounds is very important in making a food photo look natural. People usually expect to see food in certain environments and when they see food in unusual settings, they may subconsciously feel that the shot is unnatural in some way. Shooting on a grey seamless is not a very natural environment, so if you’re going for a “natural look”, try to place the food in a setting that might fit the food.
