Food pictures that you display on Instagram can look more stylish if you follow our tips. There are a few ways to help you make your food shots more unique.

　　如果你按照我们的建议去做，那你发到Instagram网站上的美食照片就会美翻了。有几种方法能有助于使你的美食照片更具特色。

　　1. Styling accompanied by a story

　　图片搭配故事

　　Before you take a picture, think about it and decide what it is that you can tell your followers about it. Some might want to tell about the person who is eating the dish. Whether it’s your first meal at a Chinese restaurant or a birthday party at a cozy cafeteria, describe the surroundings and background as well as the reason that made you choose the food in the picture.

　　拍照之前先想想，确定你想传达给别人什么信息。有人可能想呈现一个正在吃菜的人，无论是你第一次到中餐馆吃饭，还是在一家舒适的自助餐厅办一场生日聚会，都可以描述一下周围的环境和照片的背景，以及选择所拍食物的原因。

　　2. Opt for natural lighting

　　选择自然光

　　Flash is not as flattering as natural light. The latter makes pictures look much better. The only problem is that you can hardly find natural light in bars, cafes and restaurants. What you can do is to take your dish and walk over to a window. If you are having your lunch or dinner outside, remember to find a place with shadow since direct sunlight casts shadows on food and other items.

　　闪光灯没有自然光效果好，后者会使照片更美。唯一的问题就是在酒吧、咖啡厅和饭店里很难找到自然光。你可以端着菜走到窗边。如果你正在室外吃午餐或晚餐，记得要找一个有荫凉的地方，因为直接在阳光下拍照会在食物或其他东西上投上阴影。

　　3. Pick your perspective

　　选好角度

　　Choose the right perspective. One of the best positions is shooting from the top down. This is how you’ll show the whole table. You might sometimes need to climb on a chair to take that perfect shot! Eye level shots look irresistible. You may try and hold your dish out in front of you. Do not hesitate to ask a random person to stand behind you and take the shot for you. Vertical pictures are also worth your attention.

　　要选对角度。最好的角度之一就是从正上方拍照，这样能拍下整个餐桌。有时你可能需要爬上椅子只为完美一拍。平视的角度最美，你可以试试把食物拿出来放在面前，不要迟疑，随便找个人站在你身后帮你拍照，垂直角度也值得一试。

　　4. Go beyond the Instagram filter

　　不要只用Instagram的滤镜

　　Use special apps to keep your pictures bright. Experiment a bit and see which app is your favorite. Use various filters and tools to make your shots more attractive. Adjust the brightness. Try out a different contrast.

　　使用一些特别的应用软件亮化照片，多试几次，看看哪款应用是你的最爱。使用多种滤镜和工具使你的照片更吸引人。调整一下亮度，试试不同的对比度。　　Food pictures that you display on Instagram can look more stylish if you follow our tips. There are a few ways to help you make your food shots more unique.
