This project is an extension of a body of work I’ve been developing personally over the years which celebrates natural foods for their physical beauty. As someone that is passionate about health and fitness, and not a proponent of any specific diet, I do know that fruits and vegetables are key to building and creating a healthy lifestyle, yet, our culture is all about processed, fast and convenient foods which are slowly killing us. With my fruits/veggies project, I aimed to create images that explored the visual aspects of plant foods, with the hopes of giving them some “sex appeal”, so to speak. This color project, takes this idea to the next level and adds the exploration of color. Other items photographed initially included broccoli, apples, bananas, grapes, lettuce and pineapples. See the Fruits & Vegetables page, for more.
