When you only have so much meat to work with, it's vital to at least learn how to photograph it flatteringly.

What formula do you use for measuring your meat?

Pornhub mainly

Maybe they just trimmed the bread back to make the meat appear more substantial...

I’ve watched videos on how they photograph food and let’s just say that this cheese is probably some coloured PVA glue or something.

Due to the time it can take to shoot food and the heat from the lights it’s not ideal (I think they should be forced to photograph the actual product and this is all absurd, but I’m just talking about this photo) to use the actual food.

I’ve seen glue in lieu of milk for cereal adverts, as one such example.

It’s pretty interesting from a technical viewpoint and you can search it up on YouTube.

At this level of food photography you can be sure they are using the actual product, and weighing it so their lawyers can argue it represents some kind of reality. When they get the inevitable lawsuits.
