Food Advertising vs Reality

I've always known about the art of food photography, and how it has to look perfect and delicious ... and alas, often quite different than the actual food.

But recently I found out a client of ours has the odd (never before known to me) profession of fashion food chef.

She's the person who creates the food that's photographed. It's edible stuff, but not created for taste or even for good appearance in a restaurant ... but specifically for good appearance in photographs.

Apparently, it's an art in itself.

I never knew!
