Food Photography: Creative Editing Techniques

Food Photography: Creative Editing Techniques

“We are nearing the end of the course! I am glad to have been able to accompany you during a section of your adventure in the world of gastronomic photography. I hope that the image editing techniques you have learned will help you to develop your own style and way of working. Now it's time to complete and present your project: your photos edited and retouched with a personal style. To do this, finish the tasks that you started throughout the course, applying the changes based on the feedback you have received. I want to remind you that, before starting any editing project, take some time to think about what you want to achieve or convey with your photo, to experiment and create something unique according to your own vision. Below, I have summarized the essential points to keep in mind to complete your project. Do not forget to document the entire work process to be able to show the evolution! The photographs Choose the photos you want to edit. They can be yours or you can use mine, but remember to create something of your own! I recommend choosing images that inspire you and move something in you. The mood board Think about what you want to achieve with each photo and take notes. Consider the mood that the photos might reflect; observe the colors, the style, the composition, etc.

Editing in Lightroom Open the images in Lightroom and start with the basic editing, and, if you want and need to, continue with the more advanced and creative options. Editing in Photoshop If you want or need to, continue editing your photos in Photoshop, removing blemishes, combining multiple photos to create a composition, or creating stop-motion animation. The presentation Go back to Lightroom and export your photos as if they were for Instagram. Above all, keep in mind the size and resolution of the images. When your project is ready, share it on the forum by clicking on "Create your project". Also comment on what your vision was for each photo and if you had any doubts or difficulties in the process. I am looking forward to seeing what you have created! Finally, I want to remind you that the forum is our connection and feedback tool: sharing your tasks and projects is the way to get the most out of this course. I will also be there as often as possible to give you advice and answer your questions. Thanks again and see you soon! ”
