Have you noticed the delightful photos I have on the food packaging? or on an ad on TV? The food you buy in shops and restaurants is never as delicious as they appear in their promotional photos. There is a great chance that you never enjoy the food appearing in these pictures.
The reason is because professionals food photographers use all kinds of non-edible products to make appetizing food in front of a lens. Below you can see a 9 minute video describing 10 best tricks used to pull these delicious photos. And, of course, there are not others.
