Bugged Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The bride and groom give the gift of stinky cheese-breath to all the guests at their wedding. I sure as heck wouldn't want to sleep with a piece of that "wedding cake" under my pillow. The Christmas arrangement is nice though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_the_wino Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yea, I don't think the missus is gonna go for this one. Now if I could get one of the guest to buy me....er, us a Garand. That would be sweet. And by sweet I mean totally cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The poor photography makes the cakes look really unappetizing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well yes - but what you see is what you get: rotted cow, sheep and goat juice. There's no way of prettying that concept up. They need a "scratch and sniff" approach to sell more of these cakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Food photography is probably one of the most demanding types of photography. And not only because capturing the color, texture and nuance of the product is complex and time consuming, but there are definite laws as to what you can and can't do. Years ago, if you wanted to shoot a bowl of ice cream, you could substitute mashed potatoes which doesn't have the habit of melting. But that was decided to be misrepresentation (Gee... ya THINK?) and now, unless the ice cream is not the featured product, it has to be the company's product. We also used to photograph soup by putting clear acrylic blocks in the bowls so the meat and vegetables would stay on the surface giving you the illusion of actually having more in each bowl. There's all sorts of sneaky tricks, many of which are still employed. But you can tell by looking at these shots that they're done by amateurs and were shot on the fly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Boo is right about the bizarre tricks used by photographers and ad companies to make food look enticing. I once had a long conversation with a guy who had been in that line of work and some of the stories that he told bordered on disgusting. Others were just plain funny.

JennyXoXo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The best superchargers in the world. Not worth getting married for. But, if you know somebody getting married in the near future, it's a great bribe =) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
