No matter how much technology surrounds us, we never lose our fascination with the basic, tasty things in life — which explains why food photography is all over social networking sites. Most of us reach for our camera phones to photograph a meal, sometimes with less than appetizing results. Here's how to make your camera phone food photos look tastier.

　　不管科技渗透到我们生活的程度有多深，我们追随生活中那些基本必需，美味食物的脚步从未停止，这也就解释了美食照片在社交网站上随处可见的原因了。很多人拿着拍照手机给美食拍照，但有时候拍出来的效果却没那么激发人的食欲。下面给大家介绍一些小技能，让你拍出来的美食照片更吸引人。

　　1. Foreground the Food

　　1. 把食物放在突出的位置。

　　Bring your camera phone up close to the food and try filling at least the lower third of the frame with it while capturing a couple background elements that suggest the setting. Food often looks great served in the middle of a big white plate, but in a photo, the plate just creates blank space. Use a tight composition to eliminate as much of the white plate as possible. Try using a plate small enough to fill with the food, a dark-colored plate or a side dish that fills empty space.

　　拿着手机靠近食物，然后把食物置于构图底部居中的位置，这样便能利用背景的元素突出构图效果。一般来说，食物与大白盘子的呈现效果是最协调的，但在照片里，盘子的作用只会增加留白。所以要尽量采用紧凑的构图方法以减少白色盘子的画面比例。找一个小的，深色调的盘子或配菜以填补空白位置。

　　2. Avoid Flat Lighting

　　2. 避免使用平光

　　The angle of the light falling on the food will determine how much texture and contour shows. Use side lighting by positioning the food next to a window or using something white like a napkin or a menu to bounce light onto it from the side. If you're shooting at home, try setting a lamp to one side of the dish. Don't use a camera phone flash with food unless there's no other way to get enough light, because it will create harsh shadows and reflections without showing much texture.

　　投射到食物上的光线将决定食物质感和轮廓的展示效果。学会使用侧光给食物拍照，例如把食物放在窗子旁边，或者找一些白色的物品，如餐巾或菜单，把光线从一旁反射到食物上。如果你这是在家里拍的照片，那就在食物旁边放一盏台灯吧。尽可能不要使用手机闪光灯，除非真的没有其他获取光线的方法了，因为这样会产生非常强烈的阴影和反光效果，展示食物质感的效果也很差。

　　3. Shoot From a Low Angle

　　3. 低角度拍摄

　　Some dishes look good when shot dead-on from above, but many don't. Bring your camera phone down to table level and try different angles to see which one shows the most detailed and interesting view. Shooting at table level will make the food look more prominent in the shot, and it will also allow you to capture some of the background to show the context of the meal.

　　有的菜肴从正上方拍出来的效果很吸引人，但有很多的菜肴却不然。把手机放置桌子的水平位置，尝试不同的角度以找到最能突出食物细节和新鲜有趣的角度。从桌子的水平视角拍摄能使得食物看起来更加鲜明突出，还能通过其他背景元素形成对比，从而突出食物的质感。

　　4. Add Oil

　　4. 增添油光

　　Food looks better when it's shiny. Dabbing just a tiny bit of oil on the food you're shooting will make it look juicier and fresher. The way the light reflects off the shinier surface will enhance the appearance of texture, too.

　　食物在闪闪发光的时候看起来更诱人。在食物上涂上少量油，能让它看起来更鲜美多汁。光线从油亮的外观所反射出来的效果能强化展示食物质感。

　　5. Go Macro

　　5. 使用特写镜头

　　To get really close and capture a whole new perspective on your dish, use a macro lens like the Easy-Macro and turn a bland-looking lump of comestibles into a work of art. Macro shots work especially well with food that has an interesting texture but not a lot of color.

　　若想尽可能靠近食物，抓拍出全新的视角，不妨使用微距镜头，如Easy-Macro，能把平淡无奇的食物块拍成高端大气的艺术品。微距镜头拍出来的食物效果特别惊人，既有独特的视角也不显得色彩冗余。
