If you want to create professional images, then you need to shoot with Tethered Capture in your RAW processor of choice. Utilize the Composition Guides while Tethering This also creates a break in pattern that helps draw the eye as well. In the image below, I created a focal point in a minimalist composition by simply placing one chestnut a bit differently than others. Also, you can have more than one focal point in your image, but one must be more dominant. You can create a focal point with light, colour, isolation, or contrast. This could be the largest chocolate curl on top of your cake or the garnish on your pasta. Take a look at your subject and pick the most interesting feature to highlight and make sure it falls in a key part of your frame, for example, where your lines intersect. There are many ways you can create a focal point in your food photo. In the case of the application of the Phi Grid or Rule-of-Thirds, this would be where the lines of the grids intersect. The focal point refers to the specific area in your frame or within your subject that draws the viewer’s eye. Create a Focal Point to Draw Attention to the Hero There is nothing wrong with using the Rule-of-Thirds when appropriate, but having both grids at your disposal when shooting your food photography will allow you more creative flexibility. In this case, a lack of negative space can give a sense of claustrophobia. When there is too much going on in an image, or very little negative space, the viewer is unsure of where to look. It provides balance, a bit of breathing room, and emphasis on the subject. It’s an area where your eyes can momentarily rest. Negative space does a lot for a food photo. Negative space is the area that is left empty. Positive space is the area taken up by your food subject and supporting elements, like your props. Use Negative Space to Provide Balance and Breathing Room Understanding the concept of visual weight will help you better arrange your subject and any supporting elements within your image. In short, when we position an element away from the center of the frame (the center of gravity), the more likely we are to look for other elements to balance it out. We seek equilibrium and search for balance in everything we see. This means that our sense of balance affects our reaction to visual imagery. Because we experience gravity, we tend to look at a photo with the subconscious assumption that different elements could fall to the ground.
