Hey Austin, what could we help you with?

Well, when I was a little kid growing up in upstate New York,

I was sitting there at the table eating my breakfast cereal,

and I'm looking at the cereal boxes, and I noticed that on pretty much all of them they have some kind of

picture of like the cereal splashing out of the bowl or splashing out of the spoon and the

milk is kind of splashing out of the spoon and the milk is kind of

flashing really dramatically and I remember asking my dad about how they

took the pictures and he said well that's not real milk it's just glue and so the

question that I had is do they really just take the truth of the glue

splashing what exactly happens there.

Yeah, you know I'd always heard that about milk photographs too that they used Elmer's

glue which once you know that it does make the photograph a lot less appetizing.

Yeah I would agree.

All right we're gonna we're gonna look into this for you Austin.

That sounds like an awesome thing to do. I really appreciate it. Yeah you bet.

Terry Campbell is a food photographer. He has done serial photo shoots. He's also written the book

Food Photography and Lighting. So Terry do food

photographers use glue instead of milk? No, well it yeah it can be I mean I'm sure that's been done in the past it's not always the case

we typically use a different product that has

from the consistency it's it's wild root hair tonic which basically just gives us more time to work with the product so

Did you say hair tonic? Yeah

It's it has a better color than maybe a glue might have a glue
