Photoshoot Results

I am very pleased with the results from this photoshoot, the lighting was not as issue as it was a very simple set up.

When shooting and trying to create 3 unqiue photographs from the same landscape I decided that times of day would work well. Therefore the lighting was changed to mimic times of day and further edited within Photoshop to enhance this.

Luckily none of the food wilted or defiled under the hot lights. I believe that some of the foodscapes came out better than others due to their different creation.

For example the Caulifour Snow Scene I think where much better than the Potatoe & Salmon River Canyon Scene, as it was easy to create multiple shots from the Snow than it was from the River. As the River had a very basic design and the Snow was slightly more complex.

Here are some preliminary examples of the shoot -

Designs for Foodscapes

I have finalised my ideas for my 4 foodscapes.

- Cauliflour & Salmon Snow Plains & Lake

- Potatoe & Blueberry Casm & River

- Spinach & Borccoli Swap

Mushroom & Cucumber Desert

I could not rotate the images which is a nightmare. However these are my designs for my Foodscapes.

Inspiration

I suppose this really should have been mentioned before though it sliped my mind! Too focused on the project!

The inspiration for this project came from Carl Warner, famous for creating incredable wonderful foodscapes as can be seen below -

Warner has always been a photographer I have admired simply because he has done somthing unqiue and different to every other photographer out there. Along with being truley interesting to look at!

Attempting this myself is a difficult feat in itself as im not only taking the photograph but actually creating it. Never the less I shall do my best  in creating my own foodscapes.

Though looking further into art constructed from food I found an old artist - Giuseppe Arcimboldo - who did a similar thing though rather than landscapes and a camera he used the human form and a paint brush. Creating somthing just as impressive.

Creation Ideas - Continued

I have recently had more ideas about what I can create for the photoshoot.

Where as one foodscape will be a swamp created from spinach, broccoli, asparagus & a banana boat and another made from various potatoes and blueberrys to create a type of canyon with a river through the middle of it.

Though I had another idea based less off landscapes and more off locations. I though what could be interesting would be to create a bar scene from fruit and vegetables possibly to show to summer sequence.

As for winter I thought a scene frabricated from coliflour, asparagus, garlic and a dusting of iceing sugar to create snow.

Each foodscape will be built over the coming weekend and transported for the photoshoot.
