The expression ‘don’t play with your food’ simply doesn’t apply to London-based photographer Carl Warner. The talented artist takes common food items and transforms them into stunning works of art known as Foodscapes.Each Foodscape is painstakingly built over several days, from the planning stages to building the 3D food landscape to the final stage of digital retouching. The scenes are photographed in layers from foreground to background and sky, with the elements then put together in post-production to achieve the final dazzling 3D image.Unfortunately, the food is no longer edible after being glued, pinned and fiddled with under the hot lights during the photography process, but the leftovers are shared with the crew or sent to a homeless shelter.
