Food Artists

For this food workshop I am going to be taking photographs of strawberries, I have looked online to find artists that photograph fruit in order to help influence my work. I have chosen strawberries as I did not want to photograph a full meal as I feel that creating a meal within the studio is probably more of a recipe for disaster than anything else.

I think that creating some strawberry shots wit red light trails around them will be rather interesting, I also like how the border around the image is green with compliments the apple.

Liquid Logic - John Setzler

In our styling lecture we were told about using Glycerine to style water droplets onto products as using water will be more difficult because it runs down the product whereas Glycerine stays put as it is sticky, its available in most pharmacy's over the counter and I think that using it will create a great effect and add the sense of chilled to the object.

Apple got bitten by a Beetle - Salmin Malik

This is another light drawing using fruit, I think that using props in the photograph helps add more to look and creates interest as people add their own stories to the props that are used. When I think of apples I think of school and "giving an apple to the teacher" so I may experiment with apples as well as strawberries.

Strawberry Splash - Greig Houghton

This is a strawberry being dropped into a glass of water and I am going to try my own splash photography as I think the effect is interesting and is being used in a commercial advertising sense on many products already so it would be useful for me to know how to create these.

Strawberry Drop - Amelia

This is another photograph of strawberry being dropped into a jam jar and this photograph could be used more in a commercial way to advertise strawberry jam. I want to try creating my own versions of this photograph.

I did not take any of these photographs, links have been provided to the original website that I found them on.
