When you hear 'autumn,' chestnuts might be the first thing that comes to mind. From hot chestnuts sold at stalls to peeled chestnuts available at convenience stores, and even chestnut rice and Mont Blanc desserts, they appear in various forms.

Sweet potatoes are also a representative flavor of autumn. The contrast between the purple skin and yellow interior of roasted sweet potatoes makes for striking photos. Capture the steam and syrup of roasted sweet potatoes to create a sizzling effect. Dishes like candied sweet potatoes and tempura, which showcase vibrant colors, are also recommended subjects.
Mushrooms (Shiitake, Matsutake, etc.)

Mushrooms, like shiitake with their strong aroma and flavor, and matsutake, known as the king of autumn flavors, are indispensable in autumn. Their brown, subdued colors make photography challenging. Use natural light or macro functions to enhance texture and color, and introduce bright backgrounds or props to create contrast.

Autumn, when salmon swim upstream to spawn, is considered their peak season. Not only are they delicious, but the vibrant orange flesh and jewel-like red roe are sure to make stunning photos. Pay attention to light reflection to highlight their texture.

Autumn is adorned with vibrant fruits. Among them, apples, persimmons, and pears are autumn's seasonal fruits, and capturing their fresh appearance is a must. When photographing them whole, choose a simple background to make the colors stand out.

Additionally, to enhance the beauty of fruits, consider styling the surroundings. Cutting the fruits to show cross-sections or combining multiple fruits to balance colors can create visually appealing photos. Adding complementary colors like green or white can harmonize the overall composition.
