Just recently I started getting into Conceptual photography. I get a lot of my inspiration from the Modernist Cuisine as well as a Photographer I just recently discovered, Michael Crichton.
The flowers in this image are all edible. The orange flowers are calendulas and the little white flowers are cilantro flowers. They both are great for salads, to be used as garnishes, or even tea!
To capture this image I hot glued all of the flowers onto a foam ball. I then created a foam stand to stick the cone in so that it would stay upright. I used a tripod and a remote to help me take this photograph so that I was better able to pour the chocolate syrup. For my light source, I used two softboxes.
To view work from my two current inspirations go to these links:

ReplyDeleteWow this is so unique! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteKatelyn, I like the concept as well as the execution. I checked out Michael Crichton's food photos; some of his work seems to show Irving Penn influences. I think Crichton's inspiration shows in your work, but you've created your own vision, not his. It's equally innovative and I believe it's important that you don't just repeat the work of your inspirations but give them your unique take on it.
