From Pixiq: The Dirty Secrets of Food Photographers

Photography is rarely reality, at least when it comes to commercial photography. I just found this on Pixiq: http://www.pixiq.com/article/food-photo-tricks

I am always fascinated by the mechanics of what goes into the images we see and wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to employ these techniques if my work required it. I am however a little pleased that this is not what my work is about.

Don’t even get me started on what goes into making models look like they do in fashion magazines…
