Rather than digging deep into the realm of fast food philosophy I present to you a simple study of the ideal versus the real. The top image is pulled from a McDonald's advertisement for their flagship burger, the Big Mac. The bottom image is the Big Mac that I received when I ordered one, straight out of the box. Which would you prefer?
I've seen comparisons similar to this floating around the internet, and I figured this was a perfect opportunity to look into it myself.
Lemme know what you think.

*Note I did not take the top image, I pulled it off the internet.
The bottom one looks more appetizing. Is that bad? I like the idea. Feather your pixels a bit more when you close crop. Regarding the image you took, it would be nice to see white between the lettuce and the border on the left.
ReplyDeleteEver tried doing a more side by side comparison? I know, I know, it may look a little wonky becuase their both landscape (Do you have any portrait?) I'm only suggesting it because I just want to stare at the perfect good one that was from the internet and I lose the actual one that you took. Especially with it being on top I feel like that dominates the work. I like the concept though.

You did a great job of mimicking the advert! Omg matt... lol. I personally like them one on top of the other like this.

Great job with the mimic, and I really like your idea! Funny how deceptive food photography can be.

ReplyDeletethe simplistic style of your shot works really well. i like the portrait composition, and the black borders!
