This is a fun article. " Drinks: that frosty glass? It’s spray-on deodorant " http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jan/04/food-stylist-photography-tricks-advertising?CMP=share_btn_fb
 
Oh. My. Gosh.

I will never try to get my recipe to look as perfect as the picture in the cookbook again. (Does anyone else feel a little tinge of being set up to fail?)

But for pictures of our dishes -- hey, I'm all over it!

Our first Thanksgiving together Gomez got out his full color turkey recipe card, taped it to a cabinet door, showed the picture to the turkey he had just basted with spices and said, "that's what you need to look like in 3 hours. Get going." And popped the bird in the oven.
We have a photo of him with a saws all getting ready to slice the turkey. My mother bought him an electric carving knife for Christmas that year.

A few years after DocBones and I got married, my brother and sister-in-law invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. When it was time to carve the turkey, my brother, ready to go with his electric knife, said "I've been practicing carving the turkey every year since you got married so that when the day came that we had Thanksgiving together, I could carve a turkey that even a surgeon would admire". And with that, he carved that bird beautifully, stood back and said to my husband, "so, what do you think, Doc?"
Docbones said, "well, you did a very admirable job dissecting the bird. But that was the easy part. Now let me see you put that bird back together...

Loved it!
 
The article link shared above is indeed a great food photography blog post. Each photos were taken with very high quality camera I'm sure. Actually I'm feeling hungry right now watching such delicious foods in HD views.
