The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh, so many dishes have
stand-ins, just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and cameras set up, I remove the
stand-in and put in the real thing,” explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine
advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out
a bit. A and when I‘m shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes, I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.”
Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “I‘m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up
a glass,” Webber explains, “my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off
with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make
its color beautiful. Finally he found it: a weed with lovely blue flowers. When the shot appeared,
several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!
