As a professional photographer, my cooking is ok, and I am still qualified to answer this question. You can have a look at my certification. I uploaded more than 100 food tutorial videos. Look at some pictures first, and then we'll talk about the method later.

These are my own food video screenshots, all taken by mobile phones.

First of all, talk about equipment. If you shoot with a camera, it has high definition, good details and good depth of field, but it is expensive. It needs multiple lenses, powerful lighting system, powerful computer and excellent post-color matching technology, which is more suitable for team operation.

Now the mobile phone can shoot 4K60 frames of video, which can satisfy the effect of an ipad-sized browser, so I choose the mobile phone to shoot and operate it alone.

Photography is the art of using light. In the case of natural light, natural light is the most comfortable. If not, buy spotlights according to your own economic strength. Generally, you need three lights, the main light, the auxiliary light and the backlight. The main function of lighting is to shape and highlight the sense of food material, rather than simply lighting.

The composition of food photography is very important, and the shooting angle and scene size should be selected according to the shape, size and utensils of the finished product. Three-dimensional modeling can be shot flat, combination can be shot backwards, and general dishes can be shot at a 45-degree angle. Choosing the scenery according to the ingredients, such as the cut steak, can show the texture of the meat to the macro lens. In short, don't shoot more scenes, shoot more clips and it won't be monotonous.

Color matching, utensils, accessories, etc. It should not be too full, and it is not easy to have too many colors, mainly to highlight the theme.

The production process of tutorial video must be clear and understandable, and the process is reasonable. According to your script, the schedule is long and the explanation is clear. It is easy to be short, not long. Don't be slow.

According to the script editing, try not to over-color, especially with saturation, it is not good to show a false strength. Make sure to catch your eye in the first ten seconds. If the first ten seconds don't look good, no one will look behind.

Finally, food video, food is very important. It is only for better display of food to shoot well. If it is not done well, it is impossible to shoot flowers.
