Here are a few raw shots before any edits. Just different angles and lighting. Some were taken after the parchment wrap and a short rest, and yes, there’s a bite shot at the end.

Nothing complicated going on. It’s just a good burger, decent light, and a phone in my hand. I spent most of my life cooking, and I still enjoy making food look as good as it eats. Old habits stick.

The original photo was touched up with basic iPhone edits and Reddit’s Rivington filter. That’s it.

To everyone who thought it was AI, I respect the imagination. To those who were absolutely sure it was AI, I admire the confidence. Either way, it’s flattering that a real burger caused that much confusion.

That said, it’s a little sad that good old school photography, patience, and craft get doubted these days. A lot of talent still lives in real hands, not software.

Last shot was my favourite. Good light, solid angle, caught in the moment.

P.S Edited shot is the last picture.

    Still AI slop. I might be convinced if you mail one to my PO Box tho.

    Nice burger but it looks like you got clubbed fingers which can be an indication of serious health issues, you should get that checked out.

  3. so you think your burger is so awesome that everyone will think it’s AI?

    I like that you held it up to the light like you were the Herald of Burgers

    Still not convinced. You’re gonna have to make a couple’o dozen for me to believe you, I’m afraid.

    If it’s not AI then you did something to make it look kind of weird looking and unappetizing.

    AI still cant get hands right.

    Boom roasted.

    Not refuting its realness. But in pic 1 & 3 it looks small (like a slider), but in other pics, it looks big. Is it oblong?

  13. Deucalion666

    Pics 1 and 3 are the ones that make me question things. Like, who holds a burger like that???

    I saw your post yesterday and did think it was AI at first glance. That’s one of the worst things about AI-generated images, the fact that now I’m skeptical about even the most innocuous things, like pictures of burgers or pets

  20. I_Was_TheBiggWigg

    I’ve seen them on top and at the bottom, but I’ve never seen ingredients *between* the patties. I’d be interested to try that.

    I’m looking at the size of the tiny burger..he’s either got the biggest fingers or that’s the smallest burger
