Flashcards

High-Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging
HDR imaging combines multiple exposures to create a photograph with rich textures that have a greater dynamic range of luminosity.
Contrasting Surfaces
Pairing the food with contrasting surfaces can accentuate its texture by providing a juxtaposition between the food and background.
Spritzing Water
Gently spritzing water on food items can make them appear fresher and accentuate their texture due to the reflective droplets.
Direct vs. Diffused Light
Direct light can create stronger textures with more contrast, while diffused light softens the texture, making it less pronounced.
Side Lighting
Side lighting emphasizes the natural shadows and highlights of food, enhancing textures and making them more visually appealing.
Oil Brushing
Applying a light coat of oil to food items to give them a glossy appearance and make their textures stand out on camera.
Crumb Scattering
Scattering small crumbs or coarse salts around the food can add to the sense of texture and give the scene a lived-in quality.
Macro Lenses
Macro lenses allow for close-up photography, capturing fine details and textures that are not discernible from a distance.
Backlighting
Backlighting can be used to illuminate the food from behind, creating a glow effect that highlights transparency and textures within.
Saucing Techniques
Application of sauces in a visually appealing manner can enhance texture, such as by drizzling or utilizing negative space.
Garnishing
Adding garnishes like fresh herbs, spices, and edible flowers to introduce new textures and elevate the visual appeal of dishes.
Focused Depth of Field
Using a shallow depth of field to draw attention to specific textures, while softly blurring out other elements.
