Title: ‘Sticky Taste 2’
Location: Shot in studio, Sydney.
‘Sticky Taste 2’ was shot as a personal project with food stylist Sharon Kennedy.
We were looking to explore and creatively push ideas with no restrictions. The concept behind ‘Stick Taste 2’ was to create flavour for your eyes so the viewer could visually taste the image.
Each ingredient was styled to its flavour characteristic: sweet and sticky honey, sharp textural cracker, creamy earthy cheese, elegant prosciutto and the subtle sweet notes of the fig.
Technically we elevated and arranged the ingredients to give life in a sculptural way, adding shape and contrast through studio lighting."
