The Design

About Food in Nature Food-Fotografie

Food in Nature ist ein Food-Fotografie-Projekt, das für ein Fischrestaurant in Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, Vietnam, entstanden ist. Die Serie präsentiert die Gerichte eines neuen Fine-Dining-Menüs, wobei jedes Gericht sein eigenes Layout und seine eigene Geschichte erhält. Das Konzept verbindet Speisen mit der Natur, indem zarte Blüten gezeigt werden, die aus kargen Steinen wachsen – ein Bild, das Überleben und Wachstum andeutet. Die leuchtenden Farben der Blüten und die außergewöhnlichen Formen der Steine werden dabei besonders hervorgehoben. Künstliches Licht wurde eingesetzt, um das vom Meer reflektierte Licht nachzuahmen und die Frische der Meeresfrüchte zum Ausdruck zu bringen.

Production Technology
Artificial light was used in this photoshoot, creating the sparkling light reflecting from the sea to express the freshness of the seafood.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of this project is to find the perfect stones and flowers, as well as search and create appropriate lighting set-ups to convey the ideas the best.
Research
How food can be combined with elements of nature such as flowers and stones is the core of this project. Magazines and portfolio websites are the main sources to see how modern artists approach their artworks. All sketches were done thoroughly before shooting to make sure lighting, props, and layouts as perfect as possible. Stones and flowers were found in nature to enhance the feeling of Mother Nature.
Inspiration
The inspiration came from the idea of how food should connect closely to Mother Nature, by capturing the moment of fragile flowers growing from arid stones, which symbolizes survival. And the concentration is on the vibrant colors of the flowers and the unique shape of the stones gave.
Project Duration
The photoshoot lasted for 12 hours in total, including 3 hours setting up different layouts and 9 hours shooting in September 2020 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Operation Flow
Those images are supposed to create engagement between the brand and its customers. Since trends in food photography and marketing are changing, the project gives a modern, natural, and contemporary touch to the restaurant’s new menu.
