Cheat by photos in menu?


 Finally understand why the food I ordered is different from the menu!
Because of FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY!
Indeed it is legal to do so but still I feel this is sort of cheating!

Do you know that the bowl of  ceral on the ceral box is actually ceral with white glue instead of milk?
We thought it was maple syrup on the pancake but it is actually petrol oil!
The beautiful ice cream is just mash potato?
The meat is half cooked so that it looks nicer!
It is true that the food really looks mouthwatering!
But most of  these food cannot be eaten!
A lot are not REAL food, they are FAKE!

I found this book at the recommendation rack in bukit merah community library!
It gave me a lot of knowledge regarding photographing food!
For each shoot, we need a art director, food and prop stylish & of course a photographer!
Every shoot takes time from planing , scheduling, shopping,  prepping, propping, hero (food) and lastly clean up!
Not that easy right?

The book also mentioned a lot regrading the lighting
Lighting really affect the food presentation!
The effect of lighting is the main factor for food photography!
Gain additional information on this!
Perhaps it will help me in food blogging
Yet, I will use REAL FOOD! 
SHOW EVERYONE THE REAL THING although it might not be so beautiful!
