Aine’s food photography is known to single out the main food subject matter, containing only one single image against black, therefore, allowing that specific food item to expose its unique colours, texture, sensuality, movement or form. She is obsessed with taking everyday food and confronting our normalised commercial imagery of food.

With this new project, she is adding one new element, yet at the same time, still allowing the main subject matter to remain in the forefront. Aine's goal as with all of her unique food photography, is to produce exciting and totally original imagery of food which challenges the viewer visually and mentally.

This year she was awarded finalist in the category 'One Vision Imaging Cream of the Crop’ and received two commended awards in the 'Claire Aho Award for Women Photographers' at the Pink Lady Food Awards in London.

Also awarded 'Germany’s Top Still Life Photographer', One Eyeland Awards (ranked 9th), Bronze - Food Advertising - Prix de la Photographie, Paris and Honorable Mention - Food Advertising - International Photography Awards, New York.

Aine studied experimental art and photography at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, where she developed a taste for thinking outside of the box and extreme, experimental photographic manipulation.

In the field of botanical photography, Aine’s unique process of photographing plants results in the creation of a modern, dynamic vision. Something that has not yet been seen in the field of Botanics.

Working with an immense variety of single images taken from different focal points combined with a play of light and illumination, she is able to compose botanical imagery that exude an extraordinary depth and movement.

She enjoys challenging herself with producing images that are distinctive, dynamic and totally original in form, whether it be food or plants.

Aine’s botanical imagery has won many international awards and has been published in magazines, such as GeoWissen Germany.

For the past two years Aine has been working intensely on a continual personal project focusing on the undiscovered beauty and uniqueness of discarded supermarket food.

Working with multiple images from both her scanner and camera data, she combines these with a neutral black background, resulting in a completely new angle on food that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also amplifies its structure, colours and movement that we normally do not appreciate.

Remaining true to her minimalistic approach to food photography, Aine’s new direction to this project challenges her to use two or more elements. Each final image contains at least one item found in the garbage, whether it be food or a prop.

Anne Mason-Hoerter is a Canadian photographer who experiments with the combining of multiple image scans with digital images in the areas of food and botanics. Her photographic imagery has won numerous International Awards across a variety of genres, especially in food advertising.

She was captivated very early on by extreme photographic manipulation techniques as a photographic student at the Ontario College of Art in Canada.

Anne is continuously in search of unconventional ways in which to present food and botanics, resulting in a body of work that sways between reality and surrealism.

She was a screening artist and nominee at the Food Photography Festival in Vejle, Denmark 2019, Grand Prize winner of the IPA Movement Awards, New York 2020 and shortlisted at the Pink Lady Food Photography Awards in London 2020.

Anne is currently living in both Germany and Canada.
