There are various methods used in photography to attract viewers, especially food photography which serves to make people interested in trying the food. One technique that is widely used is photographing food ingredients as if they were floating. Usually the photo shows the ingredients contained in a plated food such as a burger or sandwich.
Food photographer Skyler Burt shares tricks for creating these photos. You need 2 poles to stretch the wire to place your food. You can use the help of a remote shutter or self timer to take photos of the food.

There are several separate images that you need to take and then combine into 1 photo with Photoshop.
- Just a picture of wire and food on it
- Background image (It is recommended to take the last time, because it needs to get rid of all the equipment)
- An image showing food and a person holding a plate
You can edit it in Photoshop and combine the three images, first by removing the wires. You can use the "Spot Healing Brush" and it requires precision and accuracy to get good and neat edits. You can see the results in the photo below..
