The edible fantasy landscapes in Carl Warner’s Food Landscapes series look surprisingly realistic. The word ‘foodscape’ combines food and landscape, and Warner uses that idea to create entire scenes made from edible ingredients.
Edible landscapes: food art by Carl Warner
The landscapes are made from fruits, vegetables, bread, fish, spices, meats, cheeses, sweets, and other foods. Each scene is carefully arranged, then photographed in layers such as foreground, background, and sky. The images are later combined and refined with lighting effects.
Product photography as a feast for the eyes
Warner uses natural textures, shapes, and colors with great precision. Bread can become rocks, salad leaves can become waves, rice or corn can suggest sand and pebbles, and broccoli or celery can stand in for trees.
Edible landscapes that recall seascapes
The Food Landscapes series turns gourmet imagination into visual scenery. Each landscape is built and refined in detail before being photographed.
