Creating a memorable burger shot is one of the more challenging in food photography simply because it’s like trying to improve upon what has already been perfected.

I always joke that I am chasing the Holy Grail of food photography and I’m anxious waiting for my chance to put my spin on that iconic burger picture. I feel like I am getting a little closer with these two shots. Closer to that burger ideal.
