Food-Photo Problematics #2

#2. Largest surfaces rule

the same amount of bread seems quite different according to the type of arrange

The ancient egyptians knew, how to show things by the most representative side to help even the spirits and ghosts to recognize the correct person for their "business" (so that was the most significant, most informative imagery-solution). Cool, but there is one problem with it: That requires more place / pixels in a 2 dimensional sheet or picture to display all the elements of a food or thing. That means, if we don't want our bread to hide behind/below an other slice of bread, we have to place it beside the other, and it will make the illusion of there are more bread where all parts/pixels of the bread are visible. It's my experience.
