Picture time

It is almost time for me to take my photos for my magazine. I have adjusted my timeline but plan on taking them one day next week. I have so far looked up some articles on tips on food photography. The biggest tips I have taken from these articles have been lighting, color, and background. These things were the most talked about with what I read. I have planned to take my pictures during the day and using the natural lighting from outside to try to get the best light. I was also going to try and use flash if they were not turning out good. (The camera I will be using is a camera my amazing teacher Mrs. Harwell allowed me to check out for the assignment). With color I plan on incorporating the colors within the dishes into the font and feature colors of my magazine too. This is to make everything look cohesive and all put together as one. If I were not to do that , it would be more cluttered and unorganized making it harder to focus on what the magazine will be about. The backgrounds and plating of my photos will complement the food. That was also another tip that I got from online that I think will be really helpful. I don’t plan on necessarily matching the plating and placemats but complimenting the colors perfectly to make it all have the same tones and feels. Once I take the photos during the week I will specifically look at colors that match the photos and compliment them along with color psychology on which colors attract people to things like food and being healthy and young.
