Everyone would likely agree that the top image is art or illustration; the lower image, however, might fall into another category. It's sensuous, glossy, hard to identify...
I'm still kind of unclear about what exactly transforms an ordinary photo into food porn, despite having browsed through a cookbook prominently featuring this style of photography. Or is it an entire style of food?
Is it things with lots of butter, sugar, chocolate? Rich foods with flavor profiles set to make your toes curl? Things you shouldn't be eating but can't resist? Aphrodisiacs? All of the above?
Funny how you don't notice that the glaze is dusty until after the photo... kind of hard to dust off an eclair, and I didn't want to spend hours in Photoshop fixing it. Are real porn stars dusty, too?
