Commercial foods almost always look better than their real-life counterpart. You definitely won’t get what you see on TV in most restaurant establishments, but that’s only because there are some tricks to the food photography trade that a lot of consumers don’t know about.

YouTube channel Top Trending created a video that highlights 10 tricks that photographers use to manipulate their food pics and videos, reports Design Taxi.

These methods include substituting glue for milk to make sure the cereal that’s being highlighted doesn’t come out soggy.
