How burgers are photographed to look appetizing

This picture depicts a classic beef burger captured with an iPhone 5 under a professional circumstance. Therefore, fill lights, white background paper and reflectors were used in order to attain this shadow-less picture. By looking at this picture, one could directly identify the types of food components placed in between the burger buns. This outlook was not attained naturally. The ingredients have been placed in such position where they protrude out of the buns, just on the front side in order to capture the burger components into the picture. In addition, the top part of the bun was pushed backwards in order to make the components between the buns more obvious in the photograph .Besides that, the white background elevates the  vibrant colour combinations from the beef,  lettuce, cheese and tomato. Thus, helping to enhance the appetizing outlook of the burger. In conclusion, even if this picture looks very simple, it still does contain technical requirements.
