“Want to avoid garnishing and other food decorations from falling off plates to photograph that perfect dish? Simply use Blu-Tack adhesive. It is easy to stick the food on and peel off, and doesn’t damage surfaces too!”

“Simply use a paintbrush to make roast chicken or wilted baked veggies look super appetising. How? All you need to do is, dip the brush in cooking oil and paint their surfaces shiny before clicking.”

“Does cereal sink into the basin of milk right before you capture it? To prevent this, sprinkle corn flakes or granola in a bowl of white glue instead of milk. This will keep the cereal afloat.”

“Wondering how to click a perfectly frosted glass or pitcher while shooting a chilled drink… Just glaze the outer surface of the jar with a mix of Vaseline and water, and spray on it.”

“Wish those fresh drops of water wouldn’t trickle off fruits and veggies before you hit the click button on your camera? All you need to do is mix equal quantities of glycerine and water, and fill in spray bottles. Spray this on to the and create drops that stay longer!”
