Foodscapes





Although a very keen landscape photographer Liverpool-born Carl Warner first established himself as a successful still life photographer. Over the past 10 years he has been developing a body of work making amazing landscapes out of food. These ‘Foodscapes’ are created in Carl’s London studio where they are built on top of a large purpose built triangular table top. Carl spends a lot of time planning each image before shooting and chooses the best ingredients to replicate larger scale shapes within nature. He spends a lot of time staring at vegetables in supermarkets, which makes him seem a little odd! However, he is careful to point out that finding the right shaped broccoli to use as a tree is an all important task. “Although there is a fair amount of waste, there is a lot of food left over which is always shared out with the team, though most of the food used in the sets have either been super glued or pinned and none of this makes for good eating,” he said.
