Carl Warner's Foodscapes: Edible Landscapes
British photographer Carl Warner, born 1963, creates fantastical landscapes entirely from food. His ongoing project "Foodscapes", begun in 1998, uses vegetables, fruit, bread, cheese, and fish to construct detailed natural and urban scenes. Warner, who lives in London, composes and lights the setups in his studio to create the illusion of real landscapes. He describes his work as finding beauty in the mundane, transforming fridge contents into landscapes.
