The tricks of food photographers ‘We've all seen the gorgeous photos of colourful vegetables and freshly- baked cakes in books and magazines, When we see these pictures we believe that if we follow the recipe, we can make food that looks like that too. However, not many people realise the strange things that Photographers use to change a simple plate of food into the mouth-watering dishes in the photos. Food is one of the most difficult subjects for photographers. Hot food goes cold, cold food goes dry, and frozen food melts, making it useless, But don't worry, because food photographers have the tools to deal with these problems, They don't just visit photography shops. They also visit art shops, garages and pharmacies. As well as camera ‘equipment, a photographer's bag includes motor oil to help sauces look brighter, hairspray to stop cakes looking dry, and a spoonful of shoe polish to help meat look cooked. There are a few rules about food that photographers have to fallow Ifa photo is going to become part of an advert, rules say the food which the company wants to advertise must be the real thing. However, any other food in the photo doesn’t need to be real. Plastic ‘fruit’ or glass ‘ice’ in a drink next to the real dessert is acceptable, according to the rules. Of course, there are some photographers who choose not to ‘use non-food items in their photos, even when the rules allow it, but that does make their job much more challenging Whether a food photographer believes in using tricks or not, one thing is definitely true: food photography needs a lot of patience. oJ)Dy Read the text again.

But tourists might have to give the place a miss In future as residents have chosen to refuse entry to travellers. Their main reasons are the tourists’ behaviour, and the fact that they get just a litte of the money tourists spend in the area. Nazareth resitlents say that most of the tourists’ ‘money goes to travel agencies and not locals. They also believe some tourists can't see the difference between the wildlife and residents, taking photos of local families as if they were just another kind of animal. And what a tourist may think are polite curious questions about the local culture, often make them seem rude to focal people, ‘The actions taken by the Nazareth townspeople have uncovered a difference of opinion among residents in local Amazon towns about what role tourism should play in the region's development. With the rise of eco-tourism, this part of the Amazon, has seen more travellers arrive to swim with the world-famous pink dolphins, hike through the rainforests and admire the brightly-lit water as the sun tises ‘An amazing 35,000 people travelled to the region last year; five times more than in the whole of the previous eight years. But as Nazareth residents complain, the local people have so far seen few of the benefits and mostly just the disadvantages Residents in other towns, however, believe the number of visitors to the region is going to rise whatever they do, so they should try to make money from it. They believe that well-controlled tourism can help improve living conditions in the area. READING FOCUS | 11, Speaking ED Work in pairs and discuss the questions. 1.
