In fact, I usually photograph things I am planning on eating (and will often reheat the food after or use what is remaining in my kitchen to have for lunch or dinner). However, there is one exception where I&#8217;m perfectly okay with using something fake, and that&#8217;s with ice cream! Ok, technically it&#8217;s real food, but it is definitely <em>not<\/em> ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>In this video I show a full walkthrough on making the ice cream, scooping it, adding it to a cone, and I also discuss adding melted drips to the scoop to add realism to the image. I also discuss when it&#8217;s okay (and not okay) to use fake ice cream in your photography.
