rner created a series of landscape images

up of the words Food and Landscapes) show scenes
including Caverns Submarines Forests Beaches
etc. using fruits Legumes Cheeses Pastas
Breads among others.

The photographer is known in his neighborhood
of Kent in England as he spends hours in stores
looking for the best pieces of brocoli peppers
fruits etc. to compose the landscape scenes.
To achieve depth To give a realistic
three-dimensional feel to the photographs each
still life is composed on a table measuring 8ft
by 4ft. The foreground is only about 2ft across.
In addition they are taken in stages so the
fresh foods do not get wilted or stale before the
photo is finished.

look a lot like the larger counterparts. says

ot say that they enjoy eating fruits and
vegetables as much as I do says Carl.
