About Food in Nature Matfotografering
Food in Nature er et matfotograferingsprosjekt laget for en sjømatrestaurant i Ho Chi Minh-byen, Vietnam. Serien presenterer rettene fra en ny fine dining-meny, og hver rett har fått sin egen komposisjon og historie. Konseptet knytter mat til naturen ved å vise skjøre blomster som vokser fra tørre steiner, et bilde som antyder overlevelse og vekst. Blomstenes livlige farger og steinenes uvanlige former blir fremhevet. Kunstig lys ble brukt for å imitere lys som reflekteres fra havet og for å uttrykke sjømatens friskhet.
