Photographer Carl Warner
painstakingly captures all forms of food in a series of still life's
with edible ingredients he raided from his kitchen cupboards to design
a series of dreamy landscapes and homey domestic scenes that appear
scrumptiously good enough to eat.
Bread Mountain - Loaves of bread as mountains.
A Forest of Greens - A landscape made of bread and broccoli cabbage.
Cheesy Tuscan Villa - The castle is made out of cheese, the walls out of rice, and the wagon wheels out of mushrooms!
Salmon Seas - Take a close look at this dusk scene and you'll discover it's good
enough to eat -- the pebbles and rocks are potatoes and soda bread,
while the red sky at night and sea are entirely formed of strips of
salmon.
Italian Home - An Italian style home made just from vegetables and fruits.
Sea Cliff - A sea cliff made of Parmigiano cheese, potatoes and cabbage.
Fruity Balloons - The trees, of course, are made from broccolis! The "rows" of farmland
are made of corn, asparagus, and zucchini. Potatoes stand in for rocks.
Vegetable Market - This Italian inspired rural scene includes a lasagna cart, fields of
pasta, a pine nut wall, mozzarella clouds, trees of peppers and chilies
and a parmesan village.
Vege Cave - A sea cave made of bread, carrots crabs and a lobster.
Mountain Landscapes - Mountain landscapes below, relized with ham, salami and other cold cuts
which had been used for an ad campaign by the Italian brand Negroni.
The resourceful and ingenious series requires numerous shots -- Carl
first sketches out a traditional landscape scene before introducing the
food. Each scene is then captured in separate layers to prevent the
food from wilting. He then uses computer technology to combine them
into a single final print.
To give a realistic 3-D feel to the
photos, each still life is composed on an 8 foot by 4 foot table. The
foreground is only about 2 feet across.
