[PHOTOGRAPHY] The Best Camera Angle 2

Having the mood to search a little bit about food photography and I come across this interesting topic, The Best Camera Angle for Taking Food Photos. It is a simple page introducing to you how to take food pictures from different angles. It gives some examples. I would like to share his sharing here:-

Three Factors to Keep In Mind
1) Food structure
What does you food look like? What is the shape of your dish? Does it have a height? How is the food styled? Depending on the answer to these questions, the best angle for food photos may be very different. Food or dish that has height makes it a good candidate to be photographed at 0-20 angle. On the other hand, if the dish has no character as far as height goes, it is better to shoot it top down at an angle of 90 or so. Food with no or very little height will look better when shot from top down.

2) Uncontrollable Constraints
When you are taking a photo of soup, that you want to shoot top down, but constraints don’t allow you to, in those cases, you need to choose your camera angle, keep that in mind. In most cases, there are ways to get around this and food setting can be changed, by keeping the soup on surface that is lower and facilitates the photograph.

3) What You Want

4) Decide The Best Angles

Most used camera angles
1) Horizontal to table
This is when your eyes are at the level of the table. If you decide to use this position, make sure your background is distraction free. This is because at this angle, your background is very much visible and can be quickly create noise in your photograph.

2) At angle about 15

3) Around 45
Many people try to photograph food at around this angle however, in most cases changing your angle to one of the other three can improve your photo by a great deal. There can be a lot of great photographs at this angle too.

4) Top view
This perspective sometime creates a wonderful images. Most photographs of beverages are shot at either horizontal level or at around an angle of 15.
